Earll Colden Waller Jr. ’42

Tubby Waller, son of E. C. Waller '14, died at home Jan. 17, 2004, in Evans, Ga.

He prepared at Augusta Junior College. At Princeton he majored in economics and was a member of Charter Club. Following graduation, Tubby served four years in the Army Air Force in the European and Pacific theaters, advancing from private to captain.

In 1948 he married Sue Breen, who with their four children — Ellen, Edith, Suzanne, and Earll III — survives him.

Tubby devoted most of his career to the textile business in the Graniteville Co. in Atlanta. Having served there in various capacities for 37 years, he retired in 1985 as production planner.

Tubby enjoyed athletics and enthusiastically supported Princeton. He served his community as a vestryman of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Evans and as a board member of the Episcopal Day School in Augusta.

Tubby leaves us with fond memories. Former Princeton roommate Bruce McDuffie wrote: "For all his friends in the Class of '42, especially Bill Bingham and other members of Charter Club, Tubby was a good, dedicated, and polite role model for our early years, and he loved golf."

To Sue, the children, and eight grand-children, the class conveys its deepest condolences.
