George Storer Baldwin Jr. ’49
George succumbed to T-cell Leukemia on June 28, 1999, at his home in Burlington, Vt. He was 71. He had hoped that his health would allow him to come to our 50th reunion and had signed up to attend.
He came to Princeton from Andover and belonged to Cap and Gown Club. His department was chemical engineering.
After a brief stint in Maryland following graduation, he moved to Montreal where, in 1967, he started his own company, Metalfini, Inc., introducing shot peening by glass beads. His sons continue the business. He enjoyed travel with his wife, and was on a trip with her when he was stricken by the Leukemia. In spite of the illness, he kept smiling and stayed cheerful until the end.
He is survived by his wife, Vera, his four sons, Christian, Andrew, Patrick, and George, and one grandchild. To them all the class extends its deepest sympathy.
