Henry S. Beers ’48 *50

Hank Beers died Feb. 29, 2012.

A longtime resident of Huntington, N.Y., Hank was born in Hartford, Conn., attended local schools and graduated from Kingswood School. Entering Princeton in June 1944, he was secretary of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences (student chapter) and a member of the Flying Club, and he took his meals at Key and Seal. He graduated with honors and stayed on to earn a master’s in aeronautical engineering in 1950.

Hank’s early career was with United Aircraft, Curtiss-Wright, and Grumman Air-
craft. In 1970 he became an aviation industry casualty and changed his focus to leasing computers. He wrote many articles on the subject and lectured frequently. His book, Computer Leasing, established him as an expert in the field. He retired from NYNEX in 1992. Late in life he earned a law degree and established a practice in family law.

Hank and Carol Voss were married in September 1950. He is survived by Carol and their three children, Joanne Cree, Linda, and John ’76. The class offers its condolences on the death of a loyal classmate.
