William Clarke Fuellhart Jr. ’51

Body

Bill "Willy" Fuellhart died in the Alzheimer's ward at the Masonic Home in Burlington, N.J., Dec. 31, 2002.

Born May 15, 1929, in Pittsburgh, he came to us from Shadyside Academy. His was a Princeton family, including his father, William C. '25, late brother James '57, brother David '60, and cousin James Marsh '48. He was a politics major, a member of the marching band, Glee Club, and Terrace Club. He roomed with Clay Griffin, Dan Sullivan, and Jim Farrell.

Bill was in NROTC and served three years in the Navy, attaining the rank of lieutenant commander. He entered the training program at GE, then served in several management positions in New England.

A career shift led him to Connecticut General, where he was a member of the Million-Dollar Round Table. He later worked for Merrill Lynch and New York Life. He was for years chairman of the board of governors of Terrace Club, spearheading the club's renovation after a serious fire in 1987.

Bill is survived by his wife, Barbara; children Bill, Kathi, and Becky; five grandchildren; and his brother David and sister Ann. They have our sympathy.
