James Reynolds ’57

Jim died at his home in Bonita Springs, Fla., Oct. 20, 2004. He fell ill while playing golf and died shortly thereafter.

Jim graduated from high school in Xenia, Ohio. At Princeton he participated in 150-pound football, joined Cannon Club, and roomed with Gordon Mackenzie, George Reindel, and Bill Ridgway in Holder Hall his junior year. Senior year Jim was part of the Rockefeller Suite, the "18th club" located in the second entry of Walker Hall, and shared good times there with roommates Brecknitz, Bartlett, Farr, Kyle, Mann, McCleary, Macllvaine, G. Mackenzie, Olson, Reitz, Seely, Tangney, and Ridgway.

After Princeton, Jim spent three years in the Navy, reaching the rank of lieutenant. He began his career in finance by joining Bankers Trust Co. in 1961. He then went on to the New York Stock Exchange as an independent floor broker until his retirement in 1995. Jim loved the excitement of stock

trading. Frequently he would play high-stakes backgammon before and after the trading day, when the screaming and shouting of the trading floor was insufficient to match his needs.

Jim was married four times, and by all accounts seemed content in his later years. He is survived by his wife, Carol; sons James Jr. and Philip from his first marriage and their wives, Laura and Kirsten; and six grandchildren. Memorial contributions may be sent to the Princeton '57 Classmates Fund. The class sends sincere sympathy to Jim's family.
