James I. Anthony ’46

Jim died July 23, 2004, of prostate cancer in Atlanta, Ga.

Since 1982 Jim and Marty, his wife of 52 years, had lived in Vero Beach, Fla., where he enjoyed golf, tennis and the companionship of many area Tigers. A member of John's Island Club in Vero, he organized many class mini-reunions there.

A Hartford, Conn., native, Jim graduated from Deerfield Academy and entered Princeton in 1942 to major in geology. From 1943-46, he served in the First Marine Division as a second lieutenant in the Pacific area. After his 1947 graduation, he began a long career with the Hartford-based Holo-Krome Screw Co., working in Chicago, Greenville, S.C., Hartford, and Lancaster, Pa. The Marines again called him for service in the Korean War. He retired as chairman of his own Datcon Instrument Co. of Lancaster in 1986. In Vero Beach, he owned a small business called Kwik Chek Gage Co.

Jim leaves his wife and their children James Jr., Graham, Marcy Wilson, and Carolyn Shiverick, and eight grandchildren. The class extends deep sympathy to them and joins to honor a loyal Marine, husband, father, and energetic classmate.
