Ralph K. Pfeiffer ’52

Ralph died Oct. 30, 2014.

He graduated from Concordia Preparatory School in ’47 and then spent a year at the Lawrenceville School, where he was a class officer, before coming to Princeton. Ralph joined Tiger Inn and roomed with Pete Cowles, Walt O’Leary, Alden Dean, and Don Ewald.

He planned to major in modern languages, but left after sophomore year. He then graduated from U.S. Brewers Academy. Ralph went on to pursue a happy and successful career in sales with Froedtert Malt Corp. and Hiram Walker, for which he worked in the Middle East and Japan.

In the Book of Our History, Ralph wrote a fond recollection of our classmate Tim Sick. With his wife, Irene, Ralph had three children, Susan, Ralph, and Peter. The class sends sympathy to them all.
