Henry Conrad Reusch ’44

HARRY REUSCH died suddenly Mar. 21, 1991, in Emerald isle, N.C., where he and Kay, his wife of 14 years, had lived since early Jan. 1990.

Harry was born Aug. 1, 1922, and spent his early years in South Orange, N.J., where he played tackle on the Columbia High School varsity football team. His roommates at Princeton included Thomson, Kelly Bradford, Short, and Whitman. He was manager of Dial Lodge and earned freshman football numerals.

He left us early to enter Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S) during the war years. After graduation from P&S and Naval Military Service, he became a resident physician at Bellevue Medical Center. In 1953 he began practice with a medical group I . n Huntington, L.I., before going into private practice as a general surgeon. In 1980 he joined the staff of the emergency room at Huntington Hospital, and in 1985 was made chief of staff emeritus. In Feb. 1990 he accepted a position on the emergency staff of Onslow Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, N.C., and was director at the time of his death,

Harry maintained a strong interest in Princeton football and was always proud of his association with Princeton, although he was unable to attend many alumni events after graduation. Harry was a very private person with strong attachments, who particularly enjoyed fishing on his boat and gardening. He was a specialist in growing dahlias, and many of his prize specimens graced the vases at Huntington Hospital's emergency room.

Harry is survived by his widow, Kay; five children; nine grandchildren; and two stepchildren. To his entire family we offer our deepest and most sincere condolences.
