John L. Tincher III ’29

John died May 15, 1996. He prepared for college at Lake Forest and Lawrenceville. At Princeton he was in Arbor Inn.

John left Princeton in 1927 and began a long career with Illinois Bell Telephone, serving as manager of the Peoria exchange for six years. He was in business for himself in Detroit and Florida and then went with the CPA firm of Hitchcock & Co. in Springfield, Mass. He was a great model-railroad developer and donated a huge layout to the Springfield Hobby Club. He was a trustee of several Presbyterian churches and was president of the Detroit Portrait Photographers Club. His former wives (Gertrude Gay, Helen Bell, and Elizabeth Hersey) are deceased, and he is survived by a daughter, Louise Gay Levys, to whom the class extends sincere sympathy.
