Known as “Hutch” to many, Luther graduated from Princeton in June 1947 with a degree in economics. According to our 50th-reunion yearbook, he served in the Navy between 1941 and 1946, which included 12 months in the Pacific.
Beginning in 1947, Luther enjoyed a 40-year career in sales and marketing with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. At the time of our 25th reunion, he was living in Tallmadge, Ohio, and working nearby in Akron, where he was manager of industrial tire sales.
Luther and his wife, Eleanor, had three children — Luther Jr., Eric, and Ann — as well as eight grandchildren. In retirement, he and Eleanor lived in Pinehurst, N.C. Luther’s outside interests included golf, bridge, and travel. The Class of 1948 sends its sympathies.
