Edward Cyprian Nash ’49

Edward Nash died Feb. 6, 2010, at his home in Chatham, N.J.

“Cyp” or “Buzz,” as he was variously known, was born Feb. 9, 1925, in Albany, N.Y., and graduated from North Bennington (Vt.) High School. During World War II he served as a medic in the 104th Infantry Division and received a Purple Heart after being injured in the Battle of the Bulge.

At Princeton he majored in biology and belonged to Cloister Inn. After medical school at the University of Vermont he practiced family medicine and pathology. He was an assistant professor at Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, and published several professional articles in medical publications.

Buzz loved bridge, golf, cooking, reading, and The New York Times crossword puzzles. He was active in the Knights of Columbus and the Kiwanis, and served as physician for the Chatham EMS, police, and high school athletic teams.

The sympathies of his classmates go to his wife, Marian; his children, Mary Ann, Tricia, and Susan; and five grandchildren.
