Richard D. V. Luft ’53

Dick Luft died approximately 18 years ago following a lengthly illness. He was born Oct. 12, 1931, and graduated from Mount Lebanon H.S.

While at Princeton, he majored in history and belonged to Elm Club. He withdrew at the end of his junior year.

Dick later became associated with Jones & Loughlin Steel Co. in Pittsburgh, where he was a lifelong resident. He married but had no children. Dick had an older and a younger brother.

Tom Lind, a former roommate and fellow Elm member, was most helpful in supplying what information we have been able to obtain. Tom remembers Dick as "a fun guy" who was "big" into pranks. We regret the lack of specific details, and we mourn the passing of our high-spirited friend.
