C. Donald Little ’48

Don was born in Millville, N.J., but grew up in and was a lifelong resident of Wildwood Crest, N.J.

His Navy service of 12 years was spent nearby, probably out of the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, as a blimp pilot and in other aircraft off the New Jersey shore, defending Atlantic coastal shipping against German submarines.

While still in Navy service he was at Princeton, probably as part of the V-5 program. After college he had a 33-year career in banking at Union Trust Co., later renamed PNC Bank, retiring as senior vice president.

He served as a volunteer fireman and on the staff as a building inspector in Wildwood Crest. At home he enjoyed woodworking and other crafts, his pets, crossword puzzles, and soup-making.

Don died March 6, 2017, at age 92. He is survived by his wife, Barbara; sons Harry, Donald, and James; daughter Patti; and eight grandchildren.
