Beverley Douglas Causey III ’64

Family and friends of Bev Causey were shocked when he died Oct. 17, 2002; he was 59. A Suitland, Md., resident, he entered the hospital Oct. 10 complaining of stomach pain. He suffered a major heart attack in the hospital and never awoke after emergency surgery.

Born in Richmond, he graduated from Episcopal HS in Alexandria, Va. At Princeton he and EHS classmate John Jones shared a double their freshman year, then joined friends from Pyne Hall in a sophomore rooming group.

Bev was always the most intensely focused of the group. When his less single-minded friends kidded him about being so serious, he could be counted on for a wry, good-humored comeback.

Bev received his degree in mathematics cum laude, then earned a PhD in statistics from the U. of Chicago. After a few years in private industry, he joined the statistical research division of the Bureau of the Census. He specialized in applied research and published numerous papers. In 1996 he received the Bronze Medal for superior federal service, the Census Bureau's highest honorary recognition.

A thoughtful, gifted, and purposeful man, he will be genuinely missed, and warmly and affectionately remembered. The class extends sincere sympathy to his four sisters, other family members, and friends.
