William F. Niedringhaus ’44

Born in St. Louis, Bill died in Seattle on Nov. 27, 1999. He and his family had resided there for the past 30 years; classmate Jackson Johnson III was his brother-in-law.

Bill came to Princeton from Middlesex School. He was active on the Daily Princetonian before leaving in Aug. 1942 to join Boeing Aircraft in Wichita, Kans. After working in banking in NYC, he moved to Seattle for a career in private investment. He was active in the Lions Club; he was on the King County Advisory Board for the Salvation Army. He was devoted to yachting, a member of the Seattle Yacht Club and the owner of a 36-foot Grand Bank.

He is survived by Helen, his wife of 51 years, a son, Bill, and daughters, Nancy and Sandra, and two grandchildren. Previously he had lost a son, Karl, at age 21. The class extends its deepest sympathy.
