Riner Gaither Altizer ’38

Riner "Bud" Altizer died July 5, 1996, in Eureka, Calif., where he had lived for some years in health he described as "not too good."

Bud came to Princeton from Woodberry Forest School and entered with '37, but earned his AB in English with '38, after which he worked for a few years for the Gravely Motor Plow and Cultivator Co. before serving in the Air Force from 1941-46, rising to captain.

After WWII, Bud worked first for Sperry Road Service as advertising manager and then put in 15 years with the Magnus Metal division of Natl. Lead Co., where he became v.p. and manager of Eastern sales.

In 1964 he moved to San Diego, where he stock-brokered until he retired in 1974. He was an avid golfer throughout his life.

On Dec. 16, 1943, he married Anna Maye Wilkinson, who survives him, as do his sons, James and Ralph, and his brother, James '33, to all of whom the class extends its sympathy.
