Eugene Bosworth Zachary ’70
BUD ZACHARY died suddenly June 3, 1990, in Toronto, where he had lived for the past fifteen years, employed with Bell Canada as a systems analyst.
Known by many of his closest friends as Zach, he came to Princeton from Glen Rock, N.J., where he had been an outstanding student and amateur golfer. At Princeton, he distinguished himself as a twotime All American and captain of the Eastern intercollegiate championship team in 1970, establishing Springdale course record with round of 63. A basic engineer, he was a member of Charter and lifelong friend of his roommates David Bear, Dennis Kelly, Terry Marsh, Steven Gripper, and William Gardner.
He will be remembered most as a great friend and devoted father with high expectations of everyone, most of all himself. Although never married, Zach managed to juggle responsibilities of fulltime work and single parenthood. The Class extends its sympathy to his son, Brendyn; daughter, Leya; his parents Margery and Dimitry, sister, Barbara Van Ness; and all those whose lives he touched.
