Frank Edward Simpson Jr. ’45

Frank Simpson died May 22, 2006.

Frank entered Princeton from Parker High School in Chicago but spent only one year at the University. He left to serve in the Army Air Corps during World War II and never returned to Princeton. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1946 and later earned a master's in English there. Frank had a distinguished career in advertising with such respected firms as the Needham Organization, Leo Burnett, and, finally, McCann-Erickson.

He was a member of the Saddle & Cycle Club and the Racquet Club in Chicago, and was an enthusiastic tennis player. After retiring, he moved to Richmond, Va., where he died.

Frank is survived by his wife, Marian; two daughters, Juliet and Jessica; and a grandson, Mark Herzog. The class extends its sympathy to all.
