The Class of ’48 learned recently that George died March 1, 2020, at age 92.

After graduating from Dover (N.J.) High School, George entered Princeton in July 1944 and graduated with honors in February 1948 with a B.S.E. in chemical engineering. As an undergraduate, he was active with WPRU and a member of Terrace Club.

In 1958, at the time of our 10th reunion, George was working as a design chemical engineer for National Distillers Products in Carthage, Ohio. He later lived in Los Angeles and, at the time of our 50th, in Mine Hill, N.J. No more information about his career or family is available to us, unfortunately, as George had fallen out of touch.

Our class sends its sympathies on the passing of our talented classmate.
