George R. Frick ’49

George died May 22, 2018, in Chestnut Hill, Mass. after living for years in the Boston area.

He came to Princeton after two years in the Navy and left following his freshman year. He then joined L.O.F. Glass Fibers Co., headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, and eventually became its district manager in Westwood, Mass. After many years with L.O.F., George started the Frick and Henry Co., which built small boats. Other than occasional changes of address, we have had very little contact with him over the years.

Upon retirement, George and his wife, Marian, whom he married in 1952, spent their time in  Massachusetts and Delray Beach, Fla. In addition to his love of golf, George enjoyed tennis, sailing, history, and tinkering with his antique Porsche automobile.

George is survived by Marian; children Thomas, Julia, Lucile, and George Jr.; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson. We salute their times together, their long family life, and offer our condolences to all the family.
