Frederic C. Reynolds ’57

Fred died March 23, 2015, in Mendham, N.J.

While at Princeton, he majored in history, joined Ivy Club, and played hockey and rugby. His senior-year roommates were Gerry Hackney, Dave Robinson, and Ben Williams.

After graduation, Fred started his career at Standard Oil, but resigned in 1965 to enter the financial-services industry. He worked for Vance Sanders & Co., Axe Houghton, Arnhold & S. Bleichroder, and David J. Greene and Co.

Fred remained vigorously active with the Class of 1957, serving in various capacities, including as class president from 1987 to 1992. He was always involved with Princeton — in 1987, he and Shep Davis founded the Classmate Fund, which became a model for other classes in raising funds to help classmates in financial crises.

He served on numerous boards, including the Peck School, the Winston School, and the Newark Boys Chorus School. Fred was a member of several country clubs near his homes in New Jersey, Florida, and Massachusetts.

Fred is survived by his dear wife, Ann; three children, Stephen, Robert, and Leigh; and eight grandchildren.
