Werter Pullen Vandeusen ’43

Jack, as he was better known to all of us, died April 21, 2005. He was 83.

A native of Hudson, N.Y., he worked for Eastman Kodak for 42 years in the field of chemistry before his retirement. He was a member of the team that worked on the Manhattan Project, headed Kodak's Research Laboratories, and worked on the litigation group for Eastman Kodak during the 1980s.

Jack belonged for 60 years to the American Chemical Society, contributed annually to the Princeton Alumni Association, and served on the Williamson (N.Y.) Board of Education from 1957 to 1972. In addition, he was active in the local Boy Scouts of America, the Williamson Rotary Club, and the Wayne County Council of Churches.

He was preceded in death in 1988 by his wife of 44 years, the former Marion Arnold. Jack is survived by his four children, Peter, Jeffrey, Sarah, and Mark; 10 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

To all the survivors, we offer profound condolences.
