Edwin F. Schrader ’59

    Fred died Sept. 19, 2022, in a hospital not far from his summer residence in Lewisburg, Pa. He and his wife of 63 years, Joy, alternated summers in Lewisburg with winters on Marco Island, Fla.

He was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Havertown, Pa. After graduating from Haverford High School in 1954, Fred spent a year at the Lawrenceville School before entering Princeton. He played on the freshman soccer and basketball squads and captained the varsity soccer team in his senior year. During his junior and senior years, he was selected to the All-Ivy soccer first team, and in his junior year was named second team All-American. A member of Cap and Gown, he majored in mechanical engineering and roomed with Alex Bueno, Dick Dortzbach, Ray Fite, Skip Livingston, Bob Shepardson, and Doug Stewart. 

Following graduation Fred joined the Philadelphia Electric Co., where he worked for several years before moving on to work as division superintendent for Treddyffrin Township, Pa. In later life when basketball and soccer became memories, Fred turned to golf, becoming a regular on the several golf courses near his summer and winter homes.

He is survived by his wife, Joy; daughters Tammy, Dawn, and Meg; nine grandchildren; one great-granddaughter; and brothers Bob and Steve. The class extends condolences to them all.
