Body

Cliff graduated from Poly Prep and came to study sociology, join Elm Club and WPRU, and play club sports.

He went on to graduate from Harvard Law School in 1955 and practiced law with Dewey Ballentine until he turned to real estate development work at Uris Buildings Corp. and CI Realty in New York, then Metropolitan Structures in Chicago.

In retirement, Cliff turned to sports and, remarkably, won the U.S. national championship in squash. Cliff died Aug. 18, 2022. We received this word on his returned dues card from his daughter-in-law, who added that he loved Princeton and his favorite colors were orange and black.

Cliff is survived by his wife, Barbara; and their children, Brad, Todd, and Greg. The class sends best wishes to his family on Cliff’s fine career, with appreciation of his racquet’s distinction.
