Norman Frederick Beach ’30

Body

Norm Beach died at his home in Nantucket Mar. 11, 2004. He was 94.

He came to us from Morristown [N.J.] HS. At Princeton he was a member of Arbor Inn and lived all four years at 34 S. Edwards. After graduation Norm joined Eastman Kodak as a research chemist. He spent 44 years with Kodak in various locations and positions, and was responsible for establishing the Kodak Colorado Division in Greeley.

In addition to his work at Kodak, Norm was a director of Rochester General Hospital, Hellenic College, and Page Airways. He was an instrument-rated multi-engine private pilot. After retirement he and his wife moved to Nantucket, where he served on various boards including the board of selectmen.

Norm is survived by his wife, Irene, his daughter, Deborah B. Stanton, and a grandson. The class extends its sympathy.
