Curtis Baccus Croom ’81

Curtis died on December 7, 1998, of malignant melanoma. He lived almost 16 months following the diagnosis of his cancer and was very brave throughout the decline of his health. His spirit and faith were inspirational.

Curtis lived in Houston, where he had a varied business career with Adams & Porter Insurance Agency, PepsiCo, and the Coca Cola Bottling Co. He was a member of the Second Baptist Church of Houston.

At Princeton, Curtis majored in history, played on the tennis team for all four years, and was a member of Cottage Club.

The class extends sympathy to Curtis's parents, Sam and Earlane, and to his sister, Carolyn Beatty.
