Raymond E. Fredrick Jr. ’48 *53

Ray died Oct. 12, 2024. He was a resident of Palm City, Fla., at the time of his passing.

At Princeton, he received a B.S.E. degree with high honors in electrical engineering, graduating in February 1949, and an M.S. in electrical engineering in 1953. He was a member of Campus Club and the marching band and served in the Navy from 1944 to 1946.

Ray worked professionally as an electronics engineer, receiving two patents during his career. He worked for Adams Russell from 1963 until his retirement in 1985. Later, he went back to work as a fulltime consultant in electronics engineering at Assurance Technology Corp.

“The Princeton experience,” Ray said in our 50th-reunion yearbook, “taught me the learning skills that have lasted my entire career. I treat life as a number of challenges to be conquered one by one with patience and tenacity.”

Ray is survived by his wife of 47 years, Marilyn; and children Donna Ferguson and James Fredrick. His son Raymond III predeceased him, as did his brother, George ’54.
