Louis Bateman Blissard ’35

Lou Blissard died May 8, 1998, in Honolulu after a short illness. He was born in Port Norris, N.J., in 1913 and came to Princeton from the Peddie School. He majored in politics and played saxophone in the University Band. After college he headed for law school and earned an LLB in 1938 at the U. of Virginia. The war interfered with his legal career, and he joined the Marines at Iwo Jima, reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel. He married Frances Morgan in 1945, and they had a daughter, Lani Olinda.

After the war Lou established a law practice in Honolulu with the federal government, and the family enjoyed Hawaiian society and its pleasant associations. We send our deepest sympathies to the family with best wishes for the future.
