Henry David Richardson ’39

Henry died May 26, 1996, at Hilton Head Island, S.C., where he had lived since his retirement in 1972. A longtime resident of Summit, N.J., his entire career centered around accounting, financial planning, and programming, first with ColgatePalmolive, then with IBM World Trade Corp., which he joined in 1957, remaining there for 15 years.

In retirement he was very active in Hilton Head affairs. He served as volunteer treasurer of the Children's Center, the Unitarian Fellowship, the Princeton Club, and the Hilton Head Land Trust. He was active in the Barbershoppers, the Community Playhouse, Friends of the Library, and the Hilton Head Philatelic Society. He liked to travel, and we recall that he regarded the class trip to Russia in 1969 as a highlight of his Princeton memories.

Henry's wife, Mary Kanouse, died in 1993. Their daughter, Elizabeth (Mrs. David Helprin), and son David survive, as do four grandchildren and one great grandchild. We offer them our sincere sympathy.
