Edward H. Hein ’60

Ed prepared for Princeton at All Hallows Institute, where he played in the orchestra and wrote for the newspaper and yearbook. Preceded at Princeton by brother Robert ’56, Ed became active in photography for The Daily Princetonian, as associate editor for the Princeton Tiger, and was in the Yacht Club and Orange Key. He joined Key and Seal and majored in psychology but withdrew in June of 1958.

After a brief interval in retail work in New York, Ed reentered academia to earn a BS in accounting at New York University’s Stern School in 1961 and an LL.B. at Harvard Law School in 1965. He then joined Breed Abbott and Morgan, New York City, as an associate and spent his career there, rising to partner before his semi-retirement to private practice near his home in Morristown, N.J., in 1996.

Ed was a devout Catholic from at least his prep school days and was active as a parishioner and volunteer in his own parish and several more New Jersey church institutions. He married Smith graduate Andrea Brauner in 1967. Ed died Oct. 12, 2024. He is survived by her, their four children, a son from his earlier marriage, and four grandchildren, to all of whom the class send sympathies.
