John Howard Dalton ’36

Jack died at age 90 on Apr. 16, 2003, in Scottsdale, Ariz., of heart complications. He also suffered from macular degeneration and could no longer see to read, which was his favorite activity.

He graduated from Bronxville, N.Y., High School. We of '36 regret that he was with us at Princeton for only three years.

In the 1930s he was associated with the Thomas A. Edison Co. in DC. During WWII, he worked in DC with the Lend Lease Administration, which later became the Foreign Economic Administration. He served as chief liaison officer for the Army and Navy in charge of sales of surplus aircraft. In 1945 he resigned from government service to return to Edison as district manager of its Columbus, Ohio office. That year he married Elizabeth E. Monson, who survives him and lives in Scottsdale.

In 1964 Jack and Elizabeth moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he became manager of the Henderson Hazel Co., engaged in pricing electric and plumbing items and parts. He later purchased the company and renamed it the National Pricing Service. In 1977 he sold the company and retired.
