About Franklin Bache Satterthwaite

Princeton Class of 1938.

https://paw.princeton.edu/memorial/franklin-bache-satterthwaite-%E2...

Frank died peacefully in his sleep on June 30, 2003, in Cranston, R.I.

A son of Pennington and Helen (Peabody) Satterthwaite of Short Hills, N.J., Frank graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy before coming to Princeton, where he majored in physics, was on the rugby team, and was a member of the chess club.

After serving in the Army from 1942-46, he earned a master's in statistics from NYU, then followed a long career as a market research executive. A child prodigy in chess, lover of light and serious opera, keen sportsman, smooth dancer, boundlessly curious reader, enthusiastic artist, determined solver of mathematical puzzles, tireless debater, sipper of fine (sometimes homemade) wines, devoted companion of many dogs, and strong family man, Frank lived a long and full life. A direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin and expert genealogist, he also served as president general of the Society for the Descendants of Signers of the Declaration of Independence.

He is survived by Emily Cresson Satterthwaite, his wife of 61 years; his son, Franklin Jr.; daughter Sarah (Sally) Gibson; daughter-in-law Martha Werenfels; and four grandchildren. The class extends its deep sympathy to them all.
