F. Titus Updike ’29

Body

TI DIED Mar. 9, 1994. He prepared at Princeton H.S., and at Hun. At Princeton, he was on the track squad and played varsity lacrosse, and was on our Cane Spree squad.

He started his engineering career with the Port of New York Authority, working on the Lincoln Tunnel and the George Washington Bridge. In 1930, he began a long association with John A. Roebling Sons.

He belonged to the Pennington Men's Club, the Engineers Club of Trenton, the Trenton Country Club, and the Lawrenceville Presbyterian Church. In 1932, he married Andella Pierson, and she survives, as do their sons, Dr. Furman T. Jr. and Dean P., and daughter, Ann (Mrs. Stephen E. Burt). The class extends sincere sympathy to Ti's family.
