Walter Alexander Lubanko ’46

Walter died on Oct. 24, 1999, of a stroke in Hong Kong, where he had stopped with his wife, Mary Anne, at the end of a class tour to China.

A native of Great Neck, N.Y., and graduate of Fork Union Military Academy, Walt entered Princeton in 1942, leaving for US Army duty in 1944. He served in Europe as a second lt. in the occupation, before returning to Princeton and graduating in 1948. He obtained a law degree at Harvard, then joined Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett in 1956. He joined Lehman Brothers and F.Eberstadt and Company in investment banking, starting his own firm in '76, W. A. Lubanko and Company, Inc.

Walt married Mary Anne Kump in 1953 and moved to Brookville, N.Y., where they raised four sons, David, Stephen, Mark, and Matthew. Enjoying skiing, golf, and travel, they kept a vacation home in Vermont. Always a loyal Tiger, Walt is greatly missed, and the class extends deep sympathy to Anne, her sons, and their families.
