Herbert Louis Moeller Jr. ’39

Herb died of heart complications on Apr. 7, 2002, at a New Haven hospital near his home of many years, which was located directly on the waters of Long Island Sound in Branford, Conn.

Entering Princeton from Hillhouse School, he roomed with Fred Moore, Bob Haskins, and Jim Mullen. He majored in German, was a member of Tower Club, and swam on the varsity team all three years under coach Howie Stepp. He attended Harvard Business School, and served four years in the Coast Guard during WWII. He was founder and director of Narragansett Sales Co. An active member of the Branford Yacht Club, he loved the water. In his senior year, he and Bob Haskins, at the last minute, put together a unique, borrowed boat and souped-up outboard engine to participate in the Albany to NYC marathon. They won hands down.

Herb is survived by his sister, Pearl, and several nearby cousins. We share their loss and offer our sincere sympathy.
