Franklin D Olier Jr. ’33

Frank was born Feb. 1, 1911. He died Jan. 28, 2000, of congestive heart failure. He was 88. Frank dropped out of Princeton after sophomore year to go to work. Frank originally lived in Wynnewood, Pa., and later moved to Villanova, where in 1935 he married Winifred Lee. She died in 1991.

After Princeton, Frank worked for General Refractory Co. in Philadelphia. During the 1960s, he worked for both Rolls Royce and Mercedes Benz. He was interested in fine cars and was particularly proud of a beautifully preserved and well-used Dusenberg that he owned.

A warm letter from Frank's younger sister, Helen Stowell, tells me of their mutual devotion. She tells of his love and care making it possible for her entree into class parties and dances, and his love and care for all his family. All his friends and classmates will miss this congenial, warm, dependable friend.
