Richard F. Sachse ’45

DICK SACHSE died Apr. 18, 1993, after a month-long battle with a rampant infection. He was 69.

Dick spent his entire life in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago, entering Princeton from New Trier. He continued his established golfing prowess at Princeton and obtained his degree in economics in 1947, after service as an army officer for two years in the European theater of operations.

After graduation, he first entered the advertising field, then had a long and successful career in real estate with his North Shore Realty Corp. At the time of his death, his company had four offices in the suburbs of Chicago.

Dick married Betty Tanner, and they had two sons and two daughters. In addition to enjoying the competitive nature of the realestate business (wherein he taught his associates the meaning of service, trust, and responsibility), Dick enjoyed the challenge of competition on the golf course. However, his prowess at sports was not limited to the links, since he also excelled in bowling, tennis, and paddle tennis, and his mantel contained many trophies.

The class extends its sympathy to Betty and to Bill, Susan, and Rick, whose statement at his service was a most eloquent and moving tribute to their husband and father.
