Franklin Archibald Dick ’37

Frank Dick died Mar. 7, 2003, at Heron Point in Chestertown, Md.; he was 89.

Frank came to Princeton from Lawrence-ville, where he was captain of the swim team. He later served on Lawrenceville's board of trustees. He came from a family of Princetonians, including his uncle W.W. Leonard 1896; brothers Edward A. Griffith '49 and William L. Griffith '51; and many cousins. He was a member of Colonial Inn and Triangle, and appeared in Stags at Bay.

After Princeton he worked as a chemical engineer until Pearl Harbor, when he enlisted in the Air Corps. He rose to captain, served as an intelligence officer, and landed in France on D-Day. He worked in Chicago and NYC until he started his own company, Marbotech, in 1958. He held several patents.

When Frank moved to the Princeton area, he attended all class reunions, served as chair, entertained the class at his home, and seldom missed a home football game. In 1990 he moved to Heron Point Retirement Community.

Frank is survived by daughters Marjorie Anderson and Elizabeth Smith; his sister, Mai West; brothers Edward and William; and three grandsons. Marjorie, his beloved wife of more than 50 years, predeceased him. To his family and friends, the class extends sincere sympathy.
