Edgar Baker Lupfer ’42

Ed died Mar. 27, 1999, at home, in Springfield, Ohio. He retired some years ago from the presidency of the Springfield Leather Co., founded by his father, the late Robert N. Lupfer '09.

Having prepared at Exeter, Ed majored in English and went on, after graduation, to pilot B-26s in the European theater during WWII. Returning to Springfield in 1945, he joined the family leather business, rising from secretary to president. In civic affairs he was active with the Springfield Foundation and president of the board of directors of the YMCA. In addition to flying his own plane for many years, he was an avid cyclist, sometimes logging over 2,000 miles per year. A loyal Princetonian, he attended many reunions on campus, as well as the minis held in various parts of the country.

To his widow, Sally, and to his children, Caroline and Jonathan '85, the class offers its most sincere condolences.
