Walter Gantz Herbert Bolton ’49

WALTER BOLTON, known to us as "Jake," died Nov. 3, 1989, following a long bout with lymphoma.

Jake was born mar. 4,1928, and prepared for Princeton at Columbia High School, Maplewood, NJ. At Princeton he majored in politics and was a member of the Bridge Club. Following college, he saw service in the Army, became an agent for N.Y. Life Insurance Co., then joined the Prudential Insurance Co. He worked in Prudential's home office in Newark, NJ., for 33 years, primarily as V.P. in charge of employee compensation, and took early retirement in 1985.

On June 16, 1962, Jake married Virginia Graham. They had a son, Robert, and for the past 18 years have lived in Mendham, NJ. They vacationed regularly at Cape May and Long Beach Island, NJ. Jake's interest and experience at playing bridgehe was one of the youngest Life Masters at age 20continued throughout his life. He was an avid reader and enjoyed collecting stamps, coins, shells, and bottles. As an alumnus, he served Princeton as a schools committee member, and '49 as a regional chairman for Annual Giving.

In addition to his widow, Virginia, and son, Robert, Walter is survived by a stepdaughter, Cheryl Ann Werrmann, and a stepson, Paul G. Nastasio. To each of them we extend our heartfelt sympathy at the loss of a most kind and caring man.
