Frederick Paul King Jr. ’38

Loyal Princetonian and classmate Fred King died Mar. 30, 1996, in University Medical Center in Tucson, Ariz., near his winter home in Tubac, of complications from pneumonia.

A graduate of Lawrencevllle, he majored in geology at Princeton, played soccer, and earned a letter on the Middle Atlantic League championship team. He was a member of Cottage Club.

During WWII, he served in the 101st Airborne Division in everything from gliders to landing barges in the Normandy, Holland, and Bastogne campaigns and in the Nimegen crossing of the Rhine. He was awarded two Bronze Stars and retired as a major.

Except for war duty, he worked until 1961 for the United States Lines, becoming manager in charge of the European freight service. Later he was with the brokerage firm Adams & Peck and with Ramsey Equipment Co. in Philadelphia.

Longtime residents of Princeton, he and Carroll, whom he married in 1947, were involved in civic projects there and in Tubac. Carroll survives, as do their children Nancy Carleton and Frederick III and Fred's sister, Mrs. James E. Gardner. We shall miss Fred at class gatherings, but hope to see Carroll there.
