Frederick Edward Henze ’38

Body

News of Fred's death on Aug. 2, 2004, recently was received by Alumni Records.

Fred came to us from Mercersburg Academy where he was first in his class. At Princeton he majored in economics and graduated with honors.

He was on the freshman track team, was a member of Dial Lodge, and was a member of the University band all four years.

During World War II Fred served in the Air Force. Postwar, he graduated from Harvard Business School and then worked for the Rome Cable Corp. for many years in Rome, N.Y., where he was a member of the Zion Episcopal Church. In 1982, he retired from Rome Cable and moved to Sarasota, Fla. At various times he had been a member of the Palm-Aire, Ivy League, Princeton, and Harvard clubs.

Fred is survived by Jessie, his wife of 60 years; daughters Caroline Lawrence, Marion Bartel, and Jessica Edwards; his son, Frederick Jr.; three sisters; two brothers; nine grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy to the entire family.
