Irving L. Bindelglass ’47

After a long illness, Irv died Mar. 2, 1998. He was born and raised in Passaic, N.J., and graduated from Passaic H.S.

Irv came to Princeton by way of the Navy V-12 Program and earned his degree in June 1949, majoring in biology. After leaving Princeton, Irv attended the Long Island College of Medicine, where he completed his internship and residency.

He served in the Air Force Medical Corps during the Korean War. Since 1956, Irv was in private practice in Elizabeth, N.J., specializing in internal medicine. Upon retirement, he served as medical director and board trustee of the Elizabeth Medical Center until 1997. Outside of work and family, he and his wife, Connie, who predeceased him in May 1992, traveled extensively and went to a great deal of theater.

Irv thoroughly enjoyed his Princeton experience and was particularly motivated, intellectually, by Buzzer Hall, Willard Thorpe, Carlos Baker, and the Humanities Civilization Program.

The class extends its deepest sympathy to his daughter Susan Siegal, his son Richard J. '78, and his three grandchildren.
