Nelson G. Johnson ’43

Bunce died Mar. 19, 1998. He was 77.

An alumni son (his father graduated in the Class of '06), Bunce prepared at Lawrenceville. While on campus he was a member of Tiger Inn and played on the rugby and tennis teams at the varsity level. Following graduation, Bunce served in the Army during WWII.

A high-level manager during much of his career in heavy industry, Bunce was CEO of Dean Hill Corp., Heinecke Industries, and Marietta Corp. Following a 1988 retirement from his last post, Bunce concentrated on community affairs in the Indianapolis area, working with the University Club, Woodstock Club, Norways Foundation, and Suemma Coleman Home.

Bunce was one of seven roommates at Princeton. The others were Stever Aubrey, Sandy Edwards, Tom Leas, Jack Callaghan, Dick Tilghman, and Don Young.

Bunce is survived by his wife, Mary Scott; daughter, Molly J. Barbee; sons, Laurence G. and Jefferson N.; and four grandchildren. To the entire family, we offer our deepest condolences.
