Eugene Waterman Mason Jr. ’42

Body

Gene died Apr. 13, 1999. A self-employed fiducary accountant, he retired in 1983. Coming to Princeton from St. Paul's School, he majored in economics and was a member of Ivy Club. During WWII, he served in the Army field artillery, primarily in the European theater, as a major, and was awarded two campaign stars.

After the war he worked for Livingston Worsted Mills in Holyoke, Mass., becoming v.p. and treasurer. He also worked for Engelhard Industries, as an industrial engineer, from 1965-70, before starting his own fiduciary accountancy business in 1970.

To his widow, Mary, and to his children, Mary and Eugene IV, the class extends its most sincere sympathies.
