Fred L. Holzweiss ’54 *57

Fred died Feb. 25, 2015. He survived heart surgery and a massive stroke but died after non-alcoholic liver failure.

Born in Mineola, N.Y., he graduated from Chaminade High School. At Princeton, Fred majored in architecture, participated in five sports and numerous committees, and was a member of Elm Club. Upon graduation, he joined the Marines and was assigned to Camp Pendleton, Calif., where he was a platoon leader and company commander. While in California, he met and married Win Tiebout in 1956, and they spent 46 wonderful years together.

Fred continued his academic career at Princeton’s Graduate School in architecture and later earned an MBA at the University of Connecticut. He spent 33 years working for IBM in seven states and was appointed product manager for printers in Europe and Asia.

Fred designed two homes for his family — one at Lake Winnipesaukee and the other in Florida — both of which won architectural awards.

Fred’s wife predeceased him in 2002. His son Bill died in 1987 after being struck by a drunk driver in front of their home. Fred was survived by his children Joan, Paul, Mark, Kurt, and Dave; and five grandchildren.
