Harold Lee Simons ’48

Harold Simons died Mar. 3, 1999, after a two-year battle with cancer.

Harold came to Princeton in June 1944 with the Andover contingent. With time out for naval duty, he graduated in June 1949 with a degree in chemistry. He went off to Yale for his PhD in physical chemistry and met fellow graduate student Elizabeth Reiman, who became his wife of 47 years. They produced two children, Leslie Ann '80 (married to Mark Mulert '80) and Robert. There are five grandchildren.

Harold worked for just one company, Kendall Co., in Boston, from 1953 until retirement in 1995. His work was as a research chemist in adhesives and textiles. He and Elizabeth were especially fond of their get-away home in New Hampshire. Harold for years was an avid tennis player.

To Elizabeth, Leslie Ann, and Robert, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
