Louis A. Scinta ’37

Bull Scinta, whose "principal occupation since college consisted of my going to medical school and practicing medicine, with some golf whenever the opportunity presented itself," died on June 16, 1989, at the VA Hospital in Batavia, N.Y.

Bull came to us from Choate, where he played on the football, basketball, and baseball teams and served on the Choate News Board. At Princeton, he majored in biology, played baseball during freshman year, and managed the fencing team during senior year. He was a member of Dial Lodge (always dear to his heart) and was active in intramural athletics. In 1937, he entered the Univ. of Rochester Medical School. Bull later served as a resident physician at Boston City Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, in Atlanta, and Long Island Hospital, in New York, where he specialized in the treatment of diabetes. By 1957, he was a resident in medicine at Monroe County Hospital, in Rochester, where he specialized in internal medicine (particularly diabetes). Bull later moved from Rochester to Holbrook, Mass., and retired to Batavia.

Bull married Helen Bunting in 1948, and they were long ago divorced. They produced Skipper (Louis Jr., now in Connecticut) in 1950, Anthony (now in Spain) in 1952, and Anne (Smith, now in Arizona) in 1954 "to go along with the two future Princeton halfbacks." To Bull's mother, two sisters, the children, and three grandchildren, the class sends its deepest condolences.
