Gus Lobo Jr. ’26

Gus Lobo, a well-known figure for more than 57 years in the commodities markets, died Dec. 28, 1997, in Andrus Retirement Community at Hastings on Hudson, N.Y. Gus was a member of the major NYC and Chicago commodities exchanges and was president of the New York Sugar Exchange from 1954-56.

In 1932 Gus married Vera Hinchy, who died in 1988. Gus left Princeton after our sophomore year to pursue at MIT the BS degree, which he received in 1927. He remained a loyal member of the class evidenced by his support of Annual Giving for 46 years. Gus and Vera are survived by a daughter, Patricia Lobo Aitcheson, four grandchildren, and a great-grandchild, to all of whom we extend our sincere sympathy.
