William Fairchild Greenley Jr. ’35

A NATIVE of Newark, N.J., Bill died after a long illness on Nov. 15, 1988, at his home in Highlands, N.J. He is survived by his wife Ann, a stepdaughter and four grandchildren.

Bill was an economics major at Princeton and did postgraduate work in business administration and finance at Columbia and Fordham, preparing himself for a distinguished career in banking. He served with the New York Trust Co. and Bankers Trust Co. in N.Y. and in more recent years with the Fidelity Union Trust Co. in Newark. He was a senior V.P. of Fidelity when ill health forced him to retire. During his business career Bill was a member of the National Industrial Conference Board and the American Economics Assn., a governor of the N.Y. Bank Credit Assn. During the war he was a confidential civilian agent for the War Department in Europe, Africa and South America.

Bill was a talented singer and during the years he worked in New York he sang in several of the city's leading churches. The fact that in recent years he was an invalid kept Bill from actively participating in Class affairs, but it did not dampen his sense of humor or his interest in Princeton, for which he once served as a member of the Schools and Scholarship Committee of his local Princeton Club.
