Raymond Quintus Anderson ’53

Quint was born in Jamestown, N.Y., and came to Princeton from Phillips Academy. He majored in basic engineering, joined Cap and Gown, and was business manager of The Daily Princetonian.

After college, Quint went to the Sloan School of Management at MIT but took time out to serve with the Navy. Returning to Jamestown in 1957, Quint went to work for Dahlstrom Metallic Door Co., and upon his father’s death in 1969, succeeded him as CEO. Quint’s own company, formed five years later, eventually acquired 26 companies in seven countries.

Taking part in a variety of community activities, Quint ran the United Way drive twice, served on his church’s vestry, and was deeply involved in Republican politics, visiting the White House frequently in the Reagan and Bush years. He was a member of the New York State Business Council, president of the Empire State Chamber of Commerce from 1974 to 1976, and proud to have been an original member of the executive board that created the World Economic Forum, now known simply as “Davos.”

Quint died at his winter home in Vero Beach, Fla., June 26, 2016. He is survived by Sondra, his wife of 63 years; five children; 11 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
