Philip A. Meyer ’26

PHIL MEYER, who had been a resident of Glenside Nursing Home in New Providence, N.J., since mid1992, died of a coronary attack on Aug. 15, 1993, at age 89. Quite recently, Phil had the pleasure of visits from his seven grandchildren and his seven greatgrandchildren.

At Princeton, Phil was business manager of the NASSAU LIT., a member of the Triangle Club, and treasurer of Cloister Inn. After an M.B.A. at Harvard Business School in 1930, Phil went to work for Nicolet Industries, retiring in 1969 as v.p. and as president of Nicolet Asbestos Mines, a Canadian subsidiary. Phil was an ardent lover of nature and pretty good with a fly rod. He participated in community affairs at Pocono Lake Preserve, where the Meyers had a summer cottage; served as chairman of the American Red Cross in Millburn, N.J.; as a trustee of Overlook Hospital, Summit; and as chairman of Community Congregational Church in Short Hills. But Princeton, next to his family and his church, was his first love.

Phil and Estelle Osborne were married in 1934 and were a devoted couple. While Phil was in the nursing home, Estelle was there with him every day. We have lost an outgoing, loyal, and enthusiastic member of the class and our understanding sympathy goes out to Estelle; to their children, Carolyn Meyer Ogren and Robert Osborne; to seven grandchildren, including Amy Meyer '87; and to seven greatgrandchildren.
