Frederick Harlan Temple ’35

Fred died July 22, 2001, at his home in Charlotte, N.C. He grew up in New Rochelle, N.Y., and attended high school there. At Princeton he majored in economics and went on to Fordham Law School. During WWII he served in the Transportation Corps and, when hostilities ended, held the rank of lieutenant colonel.

After the war, Fred became a certified public accountant and formed his own accounting practice. Six years later, he merged it with Arthur Young & Co. (now Ernst & Young). In 1974 he became a partner in Ernst & Young's Charlotte office.

He also carried a busy civic workload in Charlotte. For years he was treasurer of its Christ Episcopal Church, president of its Estate Planning Council, president of the Charlotte chapter of the North Carolina Assn. of Certified CPAs, and a public arbitrator for the National Assn. of Security Dealers.

Fred married twice. His first wife, Carolyn Churchman, was mother of his sons Philip and Thomas. Both sons survive him, as do eight grandchildren, his second wife, Lera (Lee) Temple, and two stepchildren, John W. Crain and Cynthia Gaughan.
