William R. Reiter ’70

Bill Reiter died Apr. 17, 1995, at his home in McLean, Va., following a heart attack.

Born in NYC and raised in Nutley, N.J., he came to Princeton from Essex Catholic H.S. Bill majored in East Asian Studies, and was a member of Cap & Gown. He was active both in WhigClio and Orange Key.

Following Princeton, Bill went to Harvard law school. Upon graduation, he moved to Washington with the US Tax Court. He then joined Ivins, Phillips and Barker as a tax attorney, and became a partner in 1982.

In his later years, sailing became a passion; "Captain Bill" expertly sailed the Atlantic coast at every opportunity, giving all involved a sense of accomplishment and serenity.

The loss of such a vibrant, gregarious man is a great sorrow to his clients-who unfailingly became his friends-and his fellow sailors, as well as his family. To his wife, Rosi, his children, Emily, Laura, and William II, his mother, Maria, and his brother, Edward, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
