Born February 23, 1929 in Vienna, Austria the son of the late Maximillian and
Ilse Schueller Mintz, he came to the United States with his family in 1938.
After attending public schools in the Bronx, he graduated from Reed College in
Portland, Oregon in 1950, and then did post-graduate work in economics at
Columbia University. He was an Associate Editor at Barron's before he began
his career in the investment business at Shearson Hammill Co. in 1956. There,
he was the Director of Research, 1962-69, and Executive Vice President of
their Investment Division, 1965-70. In 1970, he co-founded Cumberland

Managing partner from that firm in 1982, remaining a special limited partner.
Mr. Mintz was a Trustee of Reed College for 33 years, 1971-2003. He was Vice
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, 1991-98, and Chairman 1998-2002. He
established the Walter Mintz Economics Scholarship for students, and
co-sponsored a Chair in Economic History. In New York, he was a Trustee of The

survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Marjorie and Dr. Joseph K. Perloff,
and their two daughters, Nancy and Carey, all of California. Services were
privately held, but it is hoped that all who knew him will set aside some time
to remember his great ability to think and reason fairly; his enjoyment of
life and his work; his good nature, compassion and generous spirit. He
cherished his friends and was grateful for them.
