Otis A. Hintz ’48

Body

The class has lost a wonderfully loyal member with the death of Bud Hintz on Oct. 22, 1995, at Overbrook Hospital in Summit, N.J. He was a regular at class functions and football games and was always ready to accept assignments great and small for Reunions.

A native of Cranford and longtime resident of Westfield, N.J., Bud entered Princeton in the Marine V-12 program. He had graduated from Cranford H.S. along with Bob Meyer and Rock Annese, who were his roommates in Blair. He was in Tower Club and manager thereof senior year. He was involved with the Bureau of Student Employment, played interclub sports, and graduated with a degree in economics.

Most of his career was in insurance with Penn Mutual. Earlier he had worked in sales with 3Ms and with Johns-Manville.

Bud is survived by his widow, Joyce, daughter Catherine, sons Robert and Douglas, and four grandchildren. The class offers its deepest sympathy and shares in their loss.
