Francis Louis Handy ’26

Frank died Sept. 7, 1999, in Winter Park, Fla. Florida had been his home since 1979.

Shortly after college, Frank started work in Pittsburgh, with what was to become a lifelong association with the A. & P. grocery chain. Fourteen years later and following the death of his first wife, he was reassigned to the New York division of the company, whereupon he and his children relocated to Monmouth County, N.J., where he lived until he retired in 1970 from the philanthropic foundation created by the original owners of A. & P.

Although Frank attended only a few major reunions over the years, he professed a strong bond with Princeton as attested to by the fact that his second marriage took place in the Princeton Chapel and both children of this marriage are Princeton graduates. Throughout his life his main interests centered about his home and his family activities which seemed to occupy most of his time when he was not busy earning a living.

He is survived by one sister, four children, 12 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends sympathy.
