Edmund H. H. Caddy Jr. ’52 *55

Ed Caddy died April 17, 2006, of congestive heart failure at his home in Bolingbrook, Ill., having decided against further hospitalization. After a serious heart attack in the early 1980s, his health had become increasingly frail.

Ed came to Princeton after a two-year enlistment in the Marine Corps following his graduation from Adelphi Academy in Brooklyn. At Princeton he majored in architecture and was a member of Tower Club. Before his marriage to Mary Ortiz in 1951, he roomed with Bill Healey and Jim Rockwell.

A sergeant in the Marine Corps Reserve while at Princeton, Ed was commissioned upon graduation. Following an injury in a training accident, he was discharged six months later.

He returned to Princeton and earned an MFA in architecture in 1955. After a stint in Cleveland, he joined Raymond & Rado in New York City. Rising to president by 1980, he was forced to close the firm in 1983 because of an economic downturn. Ed and Mary then moved to San Francisco, where he worked as a projects manager until retiring in 1997.

In winds fair or foul, Ed always kept his dry sense of humor. The class extends deepest sympathy to Mary; his son, Edmund III; daughter Elizabeth; and two grandchildren.
