John E. Williams III ’58

Body

We were saddened to learn that Jack died on Nov. 19, 1999, following a brief, sudden illness in Florida, where he was living.

Jack came to Princeton from the Hill School, and in his sophomore year roomed with Morry Floyd, Warren Davis, and Harry Johnston. He was a member of Quadrangle Club. After his sophomore year he transferred to Dickinson College. He worked for First Pennsylvania Bank, where he headed its minority lending program in Philadelphia; he later worked in Puerto Rico. His department was sold to Manufacturers Hanover Bank, with which he spent the rest of his career, primarily back in the Philadelphia area. His warm personality and positive approach to life caused him to be liked by all.

The class sends its sincerest condolences to his wife, Elizabeth, and his two sons, Jack and David.
