He was a retired senior engineer at IBM.  He was an Army Air Corps veteran of World War II.


Tom writes:  Not much news except that I've finally found the right spot for my retirement. Both, my wife and son, only heirs, are deceased.  I needed a good place to take it easy and enjoy life.  I'm now in Florida at Freedom Place where there are probably another 600 or 700 who are retired.  It seems that there is always plenty to do and people to do it with- ie, golf, tomorrow AM, Poker in the PM and on and on.  Always interesting conversation.  But, that's enough from me now.  I'll stay in touch, be well. – October 2005

William A. Fry '52, Rhinebeck, N.Y., June 13, 2009.  He retired after a 35‑year career as a quality control engineer for IBM.  He held leadership roles in the American Society of Quality Control.


FryPicture from 50th Reunion Book, 2002 - One week after graduation, I started working for IBM in Poughkeepsie, NY.  After 35 years (including 2 years in the Army Signal Corps), in various management and technical positions, I retired as an Advisory Quality Assurance Engineer.

In February, 1953, I married Susan Snyder of Bethlehem, PA.  We had 2 children, Katie and Peter.  Sadly, Sue died at age 38.  Later I married Gisela Martens.  She and her 3 children brought our family to 7.  Although none of the children were the same age, for several years there were 5 teenagers in our home.  Four of the children are married and have given us 8 grandchildren.  The fifth child will be married in June, 2002.

I was a member of the American Society for Quality Control and held many of the offices in the Mid-Hudson section, including chairman.  For several years, I was treasurer of the Poughkeepsie branch of Planned Parenthood.  After retirement in 1987, I was treasurer of our Condominium Association for 9 years.

Since retirement, Gisela and I have done a great deal of traveling.  We have particularly enjoyed touring in the United States and cruising in other parts of the world.  We have also enjoyed visiting Lehigh over the years and seeing the many changes on the Campus.
