James Clifford Rassweiler ’56

Jim died Jan. 22, 2010.

A graduate of Phillips Exeter, Princeton, and Harvard Law School, Jim worked for White & Case and then headed the international section of Bankers Trust Co.’s legal department. He was highly respected in the international legal community.

Along with his professional skill, Jim had an unparalleled passion for life and learning. Every day was an adventure. He traveled extensively and spoke eight languages fluently, including Japanese, Thai, and French. He was a true lifelong sportsman. As recently as last summer he was swimming a mile a day and playing soccer with all ages.

Despite his numerous accomplishments, Jim’s proudest moments involved his two boys, Andrew ’00 and Thomas ’02, to whom he successfully passed on his love of life. We will miss his energy, kindness, and sharp mind, but are grateful for his many years of health, and for all the adventures we shared.
