ALFRED H. VON KLEMPERER

ALFRED H. VON KLEMPERER of Doylestown, formerly of Mill Neck, Long Island, N.Y., died Thursday, Aug. 28, 2003. He was 88.

He was the greatly beloved husband of NANCY CHURCH LOGAN VON KLEMPERER for 60 years.

Born in Berlin, Germany, he immigrated to the United States in 1937 and served in both the U.S. Army infantry and the Air Corps from 1942 to 1946. He became a U.S. citizen during this time and was discharged as a second lieutenant.

Mr. Von Klemperer retired from J.P. Morgan & Co. in 1976 as a senior vice-president after a long and highly respected career at the bank. During this period, he served his country as an assistant to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, acting principally as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Finance. Following his retirement from J.P. Morgan, he became the president of Private Export Funding Corp. He was an active member of the Council on Foreign Relations and, at one time, the president of the Bankers Association for Foreign Trade.

A man of good will, he was very generous with his time and talents, volunteering his services within the community throughout his life. He loved music, particularly opera, and was an avid golfer and croquet player. He will be missed and long remembered by all who knew him.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his children and their spouses, WILLIAM J. and BARBARA S. VON KLEMPERER of Summit, N.J., DIANA VK and JAMES R. RESEK of Doylestown, and MARIE VK and PAUL A. LOGAN of South Pasadena, Calif.; his beloved grandchildren, BEN, MATT, ANNA, WILLY, and KATY; and many nieces and nephews. Also surviving are his brothers and their spouses, FRANZ and SHIRLEY VON KLEMPERER and KLEMENS and BETTY VON KLEMPERER. He was preceded in death by his sister, LILY.

A wise leader in his family, his principles and good example will live on through his family.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, at United Methodist Church, Street Road, Lahaska.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Mr. Von Klemperer may be made to a charity of one's choice.
