Body

Victor Pizzolato died Sept. 16, 2011, in Bourne, Mass.

Vic was born Jan. 12, 1929, in Brooklyn. He came to Princeton from Boys High School. A scholarship student in his junior and senior years, he worked in the dining halls, the Campus Center Furniture Exchange, and the U-Store. He majored in economics. After graduation he served in the Air Force during the Korean War.

His work in sales and marketing led Vic to found the Merchandising Display Corp., of which he was a proud and successful partner until his retirement in 1994.

Vic loved his family, his pets, and golf. He was married for 60 years to Marie Sparacino Pizzolato. She survives him, as do their five children, Veronica Hildinger, Biagio ’76, JoAnne, John, and Victor, and five grandchildren. Our condolences are extended to them all on their loss of this hardworking and enterprising man.
