Bill died Feb. 1, 2023, in Scottsdale, Ariz.  He was 86.

He came to Princeton from Deerfield Academy and majored in chemical engineering. Bill was president of Cottage Club, served as a Keyceptor, and was a member of the 21 and Right Wing clubs. At various times he roomed with Charles Disbrow, Sam Holt, Bill McDowell, Lew Ross, Len Yerkes, Toby Clyde, and Dave Robb.

After graduation, Bill was in the Marine Corps for two years and then got an MBA from Harvard. He worked for State Street Research and Management Co., becoming a partner in 1968. He left that firm in 1990 and managed a smaller investment firm in Boston until retiring in 1993.

Bill is survived by his wife, Irene; and sons Bill and John. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
