Elmer Brettman Dunkak Jr. ’54

Elmer died in Sept. 1998. While at Princeton, Elmer joined the NROTC and was accepted into flight training. He received his Navy Wings during his second year at Princeton and left at the beginning of his third year to fly Coujar jets from carriers. In his early career he spent a period of time in Japan. After his Navy career, he was employed by Ford Motor Co. and then moved to the Boeing Co. He retired to Bainbridge Island.

His Princeton roommates recalled him as an exuberantly fun person to be with at all times. They considered him to be the best midfielder in lacrosse that ever attended the university. The class extends its personal sympathy to his wife, Honora, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Geoffrey D. Dunkak w'56.
