Kingsley Williams ’42

Body

King Williams died July 10, 1993, at his lifelong home in Buffalo. He had been seriously ill for several months, following the discovery of an aneurysm near his heart.

King came to Princeton from the Nichols school in Buffalo but did not graduate with the class. For a period following the war, he was a buyer for J. N. Adams Co. in Buffalo. He then joined Gillette Co., heading up marketing research in western New York. He was V.P. of the Erie County Conservative Party and served as regional vicechairman for western New York for four years.

To his widow, Kathleen, the class offers its most profound sympathies.
