William F. Graves ’69
Bill died in Franklinton, N.C., June 1, 2024.
He came to Princeton from Fairfax (Va.) High School. He was a member of Dial Lodge. Bill left Princeton during our undergraduate years and in 1971 graduated from George Mason University in Virginia.
In his later professional life, Bill worked primarily as a software test engineer in the high-tech field. He was known for his strong technical skills and was considered a team player and good communicator. He worked for IBM for several years, and later in his career as a systems administrator for 3M.
Bill is survived by his wife, Vivienne, and we offer her our condolences.
