William Klipstein Harryman Jr. ’42

Body

Bill died Dec. 29, 2000, in Charlottesville, Va., his home since 1992, having moved there from Oradell and Hackensack, N.J., where he had lived during his career in orthopedics.

Coming to Princeton from Episcopal H.S. in Alexandria, Va., Bill majored in biology, with departmental honors, and was a member of Sigma Xi and Elm Club. He then attended the U. of Virginia medical school, graduating in 1945. He served in the Army Medical Corps during WWII, with the rank of captain.

Following the war as an orthopedic surgeon, Bill was associate director of orthopedics at Hackensack Medical Center. To his wife of 55 years, Frances; to his three sons, William III, Robert, and John '79; and to 12 grandchildren, the class extends its sincere condolences.
