Victor Mauck Jr. ’49

Victor died July 3, 2006 of Alzheimer's disease. He was 78.

He prepared for Princeton at the Haverford (Pa.) School. His tenure at Princeton was interrupted by two years of service in the Navy, and he chose to complete his education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

His working career began in the family businesses, Norristown Asbestos & Paper Co., and the John Wood Co., which manufactured water heaters. When his father died in 1956, Victor took over the companies. He later sold them and invested in other businesses. He owned a toy company, a company that made toilet-bowl cleaner, and finally a radio station. He sold all of the businesses and retired in 1980. He continued to be active in civic affairs in Montgomery County, Pa.

Victor is survived by a daughter, Tony Butterfield, and two granddaughters. The class extends its sympathy to them on their loss.
