Lee L. Blyler ’32 *33

Lee Landis Blyler died Mar. 27, 1999, of lung cancer at his home in Cape Coral, Fla.

Lee studied chemical engineering in college. In 1933 he earned a master's in chemical engineering from Princeton and was elected to Sigma Xi. He played freshman and varsity basketball. During his freshman and sophomore years, he roomed with Russ Case and, later, with Jack Hume.

After leaving Princeton, Lee worked with the DuPont Co. for 12 years, becoming a research head in high-strength adhesives for aircraft. After WWII, he left DuPont and, thereafter, became an officer and director of several chemical companies. In 1958 he bought the Ambroid Co., which he later sold in 1975 when he retired.

Lee married Betty Bernheiser in 1935; they had two children, Lee Jr. '61 and Nancy. Betty died in 1964, and in 1965 he married Evelyn Mancini. In addition to Evelyn and his two children, he is survived by two grandchildren from his first marriage, and, from Evelyn's previous marriage, a daughter, Gail, six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy to all Lee's family.
