Sanford L. Margoshes ’49

Sandy was born March 28, 1928, in New York City and graduated from the Bronx High School of Science. At Princeton he was a member of the tennis team, the Triangle Club orchestra, and the choir. He also hiked with the Outing Club. Sandy graduated cum laude with a major in psychology and election to Sigma Xi honor society.
After Princeton and a hitchhiking tour across the country, he did graduate work at Columbia, obtaining a Ph.D. He pursued a career on Wall Street as a financial analyst. He worked for various large oil companies and finally had his own company.
Sandy and his late wife, Ina, had three children, Seth, Deborah, and Joseph; and two grandsons. Sandy loved to hike, garden, paint, and read. We will miss him, and we extend condolences to all of his loved ones.
