January 26, 2005: Memorials

FREDERICK HOFFMAN SMITH IV ’30

Fred died Oct. 9, 2004. Born in South Orange, N.J., son of Frederick H. Smith III 1894, he came to Princeton from Lawrenceville.

He believed Princeton not only gave him a good education but that it was a lot of fun. He was a member of Triangle and Tower Club, for which he recruited jazz bands for Houseparties. After working at Hanover Trust Co. he became a fund-raiser for one of New York’s neighborhood houses.

As war clouds thickened Fred enlisted in the Naval Reserve and served in the Pacific until service-connected deafness forced him into a shore job — public information officer for the 12th Naval District in San Francisco. He retired as a lieutenant commander. Fred remained in the Bay area, running an office-supplies business and leading efforts to save the Marin Headlands and other areas from urban sprawl. His efforts eventually brought about the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The American Civil Liberties Union grew under his care. He also was president of Self Help for the Hard of Hearing.

In 1966 the Princeton Club of San Francisco honored Fred for community service. At his death, Fred was serving as class vice president and memorials chair.

He is survived by his wife, Marion, son Daniel ’65, daughter Jane Jackson, and four granddaughters, to whom the class sends deep sympathy.

OSWALD ELBERT ’34

Os Elbert, a pensioned Lutheran pastor with some shut-in calling and preaching, died Aug. 5, 2004, in Reading [Pa.] Hospital after a brief illness.

Since 1993 he and his wife, Alice Femsler Elbert, had lived in a continuing-care facility in Wyomissing, Pa., “to relieve our children,” in his words, “of our care and concern.”

Having received his master of divinity degree from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia in 1940, Os served in a number of positions, including pastor at a Lutheran church in Columbus, Ohio, and another in Middletown, N.Y.; for the National Lutheran Council in its Division of College and University Work; as pastor of a Lutheran church in Tinicum and Clark’s Summit, Pa., and, from 1971-80 as pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Temple, Pa.

Surviving, besides Alice, are two daughters, a son, a brother, and five grandchildren, to all of whom we offer our sincere sympathies.

The Class of 1934

URI BALCOM GRANNIS JR. ’35

After a brief illness, Balky died March 19, 2002.

He prepared for Princeton at The Hill School and in college majored in psychology, captained the swim team, managed the 150-pound crew, and joined Tiger Inn.

Before graduation he landed a job at American Brake Shoe & Foundry Co. He worked there for the next two decades, broken only by a few years off for duty as a Naval intelligence officer in World War II.

Not until years later did Balky admit his life had not worked out precisely as planned. His special talent was in sales management and therefore job moves were frequent at ABS as well as Borg Warner and Saab, the companies with which he spent the last 20 years of his career. That meant that he and his bride, Marjorie Banks, set up a dozen homes in Illinois, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Michigan in the first 45 years of their marriage. There were compensations: Balky made countless friends and spent many family vacations on Martha’s Vineyard and in northern Ontario.

Retirement brought pleasures he had missed, including spending more time with classmates and doing more Schools and Scholarship Committee work for Princeton.

Marjorie died in 1996. Their sons Alexander B. (“Pete”), Uri B. III, and Jonathan G. survived Balky, as did six grandchildren.

The Class of 1935

RALPH JOHN REIMAN ’35

Ralph died May 24, 2002, four days before his 89th birthday.

A graduate of Nichols School in Buffalo, he majored in economics and was a member of Tower Club at Princeton. He graduated from Harvard Law in 1939 and spent 1942-46 as an Army intelligence officer, stationed in New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia.

His last posting proved providential for Ralph. In Philadelphia he said, “I just took root.” He did industrial-relations work for several companies in the area and in 1957 joined Johnson Matthey, a British-owned platinum fabricator, with offices in Malvern, Pa. It was a match that lasted 21 years. Ralph started as head of industrial relations but by 1965 had become corporate secretary. He also handled public relations and wrote prize-winning editorials for the company’s newsletter.

Retirement in 1978 gave Ralph more time for traveling with his wife, the former Mary Ellen Reeder. In the first 40 years of their marriage, he calculated, they visited 24 countries. But Princeton, its Alumni Council Colleges, and ’35 class gatherings were always musts on his yearly calendar as was volunteer work (for 13 years) at Lankenau Hospital in Wynnewood, Pa. Mary Ellen survived Ralph as did their son, Ralph J. Jr., daughters Joanne and Barbara, and seven grandchildren.

The Class of 1935

NORTON R’ONAYNE SCHONFELD ’35

Nort died in Silver Spring, Md., July 17, 2002.

He spent his freshman year of college at Notre Dame, then transferred to Princeton, where he majored in politics and played JV football. Post-graduation posed his first big challenge. “It took a letter of introduction from Major Bowes, then King of Radio, to get me my first job as a page at NBC in New York,” he said.

Thereafter, he worked as a sportswriter, bookkeeper, car salesman, and junior accountant before training as a special agent for the FBI. That took him to San Francisco, Chicago, New Haven, and Washington, D.C., where he was put in charge of civil investigations. When the Air Force became a separate department in the Department of Defense, Nort was named its chief of procurement investigations. He retired from government service in 1969, and until 1974 was coordinator of the Criminal Justice Program at Maryland’s Montgomery College.

His first wife, Ann DelaCave, died in 1982. The next year he married Jean Hartman who, with her late husband, had been Nort and Ann’s best friends for 30 years. Nort and “Bonnie” Jean summered in Bethesda, Md., wintered in Jensen Beach, Fla., and joined ’35 in many Florida and Princeton reunions. She survived him as did his son Norton Jr., stepchildren Paul and Sandra Hartman, a sister, and two grandchildren.

CHARLES DAVID REICH ’38

Dave Reich, a resident of Shaftsbury, Vt., died in his sleep Sept. 30, 2004, in Seattle after a long illness. He had lived with his son in Seattle since November 2003.

Dave spent his childhood in Japan and the Philippines while his father worked as a buyer for the Marshall Field Corp. As a child in Manila, he lost his mother in the Yokohama earthquake of 1923. After preparing at Lawrenceville, he majored in economics at Princeton and was a member of Cap and Gown Club. In 1940 he obtained an MBA from Harvard.

During World War II, Dave served more than two years in the Pacific theater as an anti-aircraft artillery platoon leader. Postwar he and his wife first lived in New York City, then moved to North Salem, N.Y. Dave worked for more than 30 years in midtown Manhattan as a marketing and sales executive in the synthetic-fibers industry. After retirement he and his wife lived in Shaftsbury for 18 years.

Survivors are his wife, Carol; two of their three sons; a daughter-in-law, the widow of his youngest son; five grandchildren; and two great-grandsons, to all of whom the class extends its deepest sympathy.

The Class of 1938

ROGER HAS BROUK DAVIS ’39

Rog died peacefully July 6, 2004, in Charlottesville, Va., where he had been living in retirement since 1983.

His business career spanned 37 years. His first job, with Douglas Aircraft, was interrupted by World War II when he entered the Air Force, from which he eventually retired as a lieutenant colonel and with the Legion of Merit. Through the years he was involved with corporate financial, administrative, and operations management and planning. Perhaps that’s why, after retirement, Rog was asked to assist with the reorganization of the U.S. Postal Service in Washington, a challenge that resulted in several important changes to help bring operations into state-of-the-art corporate management.

His retirement was spent fishing with his sons, working on his cabin in the Blue Ridge, and helping sail his son’s 42-foot sloop in and between the Bahamas and Chesapeake Bay. He was a member of the Society of the Cincinnati and served as finance committee chairman of St. John’s Episcopal Church.

Rog is survived by his wife, Geraldine, their daughter and two sons, eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. By all, he is remembered as a beloved family man. We offer them our sincere sympathy in their loss.

The Class of 1939

HENRY MARTIN DOERFLER JR. ’53

Hank died April 17, 2004, in Spring Hill, Fla.

His wife, Lorraine, said he had suffered from multiple-systems atrophy, Parkinson’s, ataxia, and Alzheimer’s. A native Philadelphian, he came from Northeast High School where he graduated in the top 10 percent of his class. He was a freshman football stalwart and lettered on the 1950 varsity as an offensive left tackle. Varsity center Ted McClain, a roommate, good-naturedly recalls Hank as “a fun-loving, roly-poly individual with a blond crew cut.” Another roommate, varsity tackle Fred Powell, fondly says Hank was built like “a fireplug” and was “a hard-nosed player.”

When good-humored Hank left Princeton the middle of sophomore year, he gave Fred his “P.U. gym” pants and the telephone number of his local girlfriend’s sister. The cover of the 1999 Yale game program contained a 1950 posed picture of teammates Hank and Holly Donan ’51 providing pass protection for Dick Kazmaier ’52. Lorraine has it framed as a treasured memento.

Hank was an Army veteran who served in Korea, and until his retirement was associated with Metro Distributing Co.

WILLIAM GRANT GLASSCO ’57

Bill, also known as “Glassy,” died Sept. 13, 2004, of throat cancer.

Even before Princeton, Bill was interested in theater and is remembered for the style and humor he contributed to three years of Triangle shows.

trading. Frequently he would play high-stakes backgammon before and after the trading day, when the screaming and shouting of the trading floor was insufficient to match his needs.

Jim was married four times, and by all accounts seemed content in his later years. He is survived by his wife, Carol; sons James Jr. and Philip from his first marriage and their wives, Laura and Kirsten; and six grandchildren.

From 1964 until his retirement, Ludwig was also a visiting lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Princeton. He advised a number of graduate dissertations, and taught a graduate course that exposed students to the technology and science of textile fibers. A widely respected textile scientist, Ludwig received many awards and honors throughout his career, including an honorary doctorate of textile science from Philadelphia College of Textiles and Sciences in 1980.

Over the years Ludwig generously gave volunteer time and attention to Princeton, sitting on the Alumni Council and presiding as president of the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni from 1981-83.

Preceded in death by his wife, Ellen, Ludwig has no immediate survivors.

TIMOTHY N. GANTZ *70

Timothy N. Gantz *70, eminent scholar of the early Greeks and Romans, died of heart failure Jan. 20, 2004, in Athens, Ga. He was 58.

Best known for his book Early Greek Myth: A Guide to Literary and Artistic Sources, Timothy began his love affair with classics in 1966 when, as an undergraduate at Haverford, he participated in the Bryn Mawr College Excavations at Murlo, an important archaeological site in Tuscany. Smitten, he earned a Ph.D. in classics at Princeton and joined the faculty at the University of Georgia, where he pursued wide-ranging interests from early Greek poetry and mythology to the archaeology of early Rome.

An inspiring classics teacher, for many years Timothy directed a study-abroad program in Rome, infusing students with his passion for all things Italian, including cuisine, opera, and art. In addition to his lifelong work on Aeschylus, Timothy was, at the time of his death, engaged in study of the constellations of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. No mere armchair scholar, he charted the same stars from his own backyard, linking present experience to the past.

Timothy leaves behind his wife, Elena Bianchelli, and his son, Tavish.
