Francis C. Edmonds Jr. ’40

Body

Pete’s son, Francis III ’64, called from Switzerland to tell us his father had passed away on July 22, 2001, in Livingston, N.J.

He prepared at Glen Cove HS on Long Island, N.Y. At Princeton he majored in chemistry, graduating with honors, Sigma Xi. He was a member of the Glee Club and Charter and Gateway Clubs. After medical school at Columbia, Pete entered private otolaryngology practice in Glen Cove. He retired in 1988. His sports interests were skiing, sailing, and fishing.

Pete and his first wife, Ruth, had two children, Francis III and Ruth; he and his second wife, Grace, had two children, James and Amy. He was survived by his four children and six grandchildren. To all of them, we extend our belated deep sympathies.
