Norman H. Donald Jr. '36

Published in the July 16, 2008, issue

Norm died in Atlanta Aug. 19, 2007. He was the son of Norman H. Donald 1903.

Norm came to Princeton from St. Paul’s. He majored in geology, played rugby, and belonged to Cottage. He added roommates each year, winding up with eight his senior year.

Norm worked five years for New Jersey Zinc in Colorado. He then moved east and started a 30-year career with St. Joseph Land Co. of New York. Among his accomplishments was the discovery of some of the most highly productive zinc, lead, silver, and copper mines in Canada and Australia. He was in top management in the New York office when he retired in 1974.

In retirement Norm busied himself in consulting and diamond exploration. He served for more than five years as secretary of the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America.

Norm is survived by his second wife, Grace K. Feininger, whom he married in 1982; sons Norman H. III ’59 and Williamson P. ’65; a brother, Douglas D. ’44; four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and three stepchildren. His first wife, Angeline Pell Donald, died in 1981, and he also was predeceased by a daughter, Annette; a sister, Mary May Miller; and a grandson.

We regret the loss of this gifted, devoted classmate, a truly loyal Princetonian.
