John R. Caulk Jr. ’35

JACK DIED of cancer Sept. 27, 1990, in Lexington, Ky., after a brief illness. A native of St. Louis, he came to

Princeton from the St. Louis Country Day School, majored in architecture, and applied this and his mechanical aptitude to the heating and coding industry. Having received a reserved field artillery commission as an undergraduate in early 1942, Jack joined the 25th Lightning Division of the 89th Field Artillery, achieved the rank of major, and served four years of combat, earning the Bronze Star and the Silver Star decorations.

Jack then joined the Hussman Refrigerator Co., where he was instrumental in the development of the open reachin freezer. He became president and then a director of the company, and was fully retired in 1975. He was a former president of the Princeton Club of St. Louis, the St. Louis Country Club, and the University Club in St. Louis; a board member of the St. Louis Union Trust Co. and Christian Hospital Northwest; and a member of our Alumni Council.

In recent years Jack and his wife, nee Mary Whitney Huguelet, had been living in Lexington, and on their 42ft. cruiser Snowbird, based in Delray Beach, Fla. His love of sailing and timbering were well known, and he met and traveled frequently with his chums of'35.

Jack is survived by his widow Whitty, a sister Elizabeth M. Lucas, his former wife Mrs. Thomas S. McPheeters Jr., a son John R. III 16o (one of our first Class sons to graduate in '60), a daughter, Sally C. Russell, four grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren. To them our Class extends its heartfelt sympathy.
