Edward Preston Scherer ’32

Ed Scherer died July 24, 1996, a victim of Alzheimer's disease.

After Princeton, Ed spent most of his life at Delray Beach, Fla. In 1935 he married Mildred Schoen. With a mutual interest in resorts, they built Coral Cove Apartments in 1938, the first apartment building on the beach. A large part of Ed's life thereafter centered on the beach in Delray, where he spent much of his time surfing, fishing, and water skiing. He also traveled extensively with his family in Europe and often skied in Switzerland and in Colorado.

Ed is survived by his wife, to whom he was married for over 60 years; his son, Dr. Charles King Scherer, his daughters Elaine Shand and Elizabeth Stevick, and six grandchildren. To all of them, the class extends its sincere condolences.
