Ben Webster Kittredge Jr. ’33

Ben died quietly in Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 30, 2002. He was 91.

Ben was born in Los Angeles. His ancestor, John Kittredge, came to America in 1630. Ben attended NYU School of Law after Princeton. He was a building contractor and a lover of boats. His daughter, Victoria, said she cast his ashes into the pass of Gasparilla Island, Fla., where she lives, so that he may forever sail the seas. She had hoped that he would help her during a tarpon fishing tournament on Father's Day, but it was not meant to be.

Ben's wife, Elizabeth Beamish, predeceased him. Ben is survived by his children, Ben III and Victoria, two grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Ben will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
