Loeser M. Boskey ’27

Body

LOESER DIED on Feb. 13, 1990, in Hollywood, Fla., his vacation and retirement home. He remained in business long after most of us had retired. He loved being chairman of the board of Consumer Financial Services, the company he founded.

After Princeton Loeser spent two years in business, earned the L.L.B. degree at Yale in 1932, and practiced for a time in N.Y.C. Then, in East Orange, he began the venture that brought him success and happiness. He ran it at a distance while performing one of our longest military services (about five years) in WWII. He enlisted in 1941 and was stationed with the 353rd Field Artillery at Camp Livingston, La. Assigned to headquarters, Euro¬pean Theater of operations, he participated in plans for invading France, performed liaison duty with the First French Army, and commanded the 901st U.S. Regulat¬ing Station. He was promoted to colonel, field artillery, wearing the Croix de Guerre, with a gold star.

Reporting for our 60th Year Record Book, "Bosk" wrote: "Life has treated me very well and I very much enjoy it." It included two very happy marriages, excellent health, and extensive travels in Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean. And two scholarly and successful children: his son James '64, has had a bright career as a professor of law, and his daughter Jill (Cornell '68) is a member of the N.J. and N.Y. bars. We send kindest regards and sympathy to them and to his widow, Adele.
