Frank C. Schroeder Jr. ’32

Frank Schroeder of Sewickley, Pa., died Dec. 16, 2005. He was 94.

Frank attended Sewickley Academy, Philips Andover Academy, and Princeton, leaving at the end of his junior year to help his family during the Depression. Despite his early departure, he was always a loyal supporter of Princeton, where he was a member of Tower Club. He married Catherine Meanor in 1940 and Charlotte Bryant in 1984.

Frank began his business career with H.H. Robertson Co. and ended it as president of Equipment and Supplies Inc. He loved bird watching, gardening, and golf. (He reached the pinnacle of his golf game in 1984 when he won his third Spring Medal Tournament at Allegheny Country Club at age 73, becoming the oldest person ever to win the tournament.) He was a member of the oldest family in the Sewickley area and was a modern-day Renaissance man. He was a trustee of Sewickley Academy, Sewickley Valley Hospital, and the Phipps Conservatory, and he served many years on the Edgeworth Borough Council.

Frank was predeceased by his son, Edward. He is survived by Charlotte; his brother, Reed; and his children, Frank, Frances Daws, and Jean Slack Schroeder, to whom the class sends sincere condolences.
