Earl L. Shimp ’50

Earl died Nov. 6, 2004, in a hospital near his lifelong home in Pennsville, N.J.

Earl graduated from Salem [N.J.] High School. He was in the Army Air Corps from 1943-46, stationed in Alaska as a cryptographer. One of our married veterans who lived off-campus, he studied electrical engineering before leaving Princeton and graduating from the Philadelphia Institute School of Trades. Later he graduated from the Goldey Beacom Business College of Wilmington. He retired in 1989 after 37 years of service with Atlantic Electric.

At our 10th reunion, Earl wrote kindly of his Princeton experience. A member of the Christian Science Church, his life throughout was strongly influenced by his religion.

Our condolences go to Valerie, his wife of 55 years; his son, Robert; brother, Robert; sister, Jean; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
