Paul Parker ’40

Body

FORMER SURGEON and chief of urology at the Mercer Med. Center in Trenton, NJ., Paul Parker, died Aug. 8, 1990. For the past four years he had been living in retirement in Hopkinton, N.H.. Paul was from Trenton and came to Princeton by way of Lawrenceville. He was a member of Gateway Club, roomed all four years with the late Dave Anderson, and graduated with honors in biology. He then went on to attend the Univ. of Pennsylvania Med. School and completed his residency training there in 1946. During the Korean War he served in the U.S. Medical Corps. Paul was a member of numerous medical and professional societies and active in his local Hopkinton church. Fishing was one of his dominant outside interests.

Paul is survived by his widow, Marjorie; a son; three daughters; and a brother, H. Norton Parker'38. To them all the Class extends its sincere sympathy and reluctantly bids a fond farewell to another friend and classmate.
