Memorials Home

Many of us recall Ted as a newfound, gregarious friend in Princeton's memorable summer 1943 V-12 unit. He went on to Navy service in the North Atlantic, rolling around on a sub-chaser.

Just before returning to postwar Princeton he married the ever-beautiful Ruth. From 1946 to 1948 the couple reported they "had a ball" living in the "rabbit hutch" on Harrison Street.

Leaving Princeton with only $10 in his pocket, Ted began a successful business career with Yarway Corp. in Blue Bell, Pa., a manufacturer of specialty products for industry that owned many subsidiaries in Europe. In 1977 a widely traveled Ted became Yarway's president and CEO. He valued every minute of this long association, as well as his services on the boards of other companies. With the same zest, he loved and served our class in many capacities.

Realizing quality of life was Ted's goal and he surely achieved it. Ruth and I "have truly enjoyed all the flowers," he wrote for our 50th.

He died Aug. 21, 2005. To Ruth, his indispensable partner, their six children, and nine grandchildren, we send our love.
