Francis Henry Love Jr. ’41

Frank died Dec. 18, 2003, in Vero Beach, Fla. He came to Princeton after attending All Hollows HS in NYC and then Lawrenceville.

He was on the freshman football and swimming teams, but resigned from the University in the middle of freshman year. However, Frank maintained his loyalty to Princeton and our class.

Going to work for an insurance company, he married Barbara Haring in 1940. In 1944, Frank was drafted into the Army. Assigned to the 76th Infantry Division, he saw action in three major battles, before being sent to officer candidate school in Paris. Receiving his commission, he joined the 29th Division in Bremen, finishing his tour of duty in the occupation forces.

Frank then joined Despard & Co. in NYC as an international insurance broker, retiring in 1970. Retirement obviously didn't suit him because, after a short interval, he went to work for a local real estate and insurance company, the Redden Agency in Rumson, N.J., where be had lived for many years. Eventually retiring again, he moved to Vero Beach.

Predeceased by his sons, Francis III '62 and Richard, he is survived by his wife, Barbara, his daughters, Barbara Hammitt and Kathleen Westdyke, and three grandchildren.
