Harvey Fisk Whitehead ’38
WE HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED of the death of Fisk Whitehead June 17, 1990. He was a graduate of Haverforf School and was with us only through sophomore year.
After leaving Princeton, he worked for General Motors in Trenton, N.J. During WWII he was in the U.S. Coast Guard. For a few years thereafter he was in the lithography business in Menlo Park, Calif., but for most of his working career he was with General Electric in their nuclear power division in San Jose.
In 1943 he married Lois Zahn. They had three daughters, Pamela, Deborah, and Mary, and a son Harvey III, all of whom survive. Lois died in 1961. In 1969 Fisk married Martha Boyer, who died two months after him. Her daughter Julie Boyer survives.
