Thomas Fretz Moyer ’35

Born in Allentown, Pa., on May 8, 1913, Tom died in Clearwater, Fla., March 27, 2003.

He prepared for Princeton at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., where he was a member of the lacrosse and track teams, the Glee Club, and an active participant in the debating and drama clubs. At Princeton he majored in economics, joined Key and Seal, and again played varsity lacrosse and sang with the Glee Club. Then it was on to NYC, where, except for Navy service as a gunnery officer aboard a destroyer escort during World War II, he worked for the American International Marine Agency and became a vice president before retiring in 1978.

During much of this period Tom kept a summer home in Garrison, N.Y., from where he could reach the golf club "frequently" and do "more than a little" summer sailing. Then, in 1995, he and his third wife, Mary Dunn Moyer, decided to flee the cold New York winters and move to Florida full time.

Mary died in 1998. Tom's survivors include Thomas F. Jr., son of his first wife, Mary Jo Wheatley; three grandchildren; and one great-grandson, T.F. Moyer IV.
