D. Haven Scott ’36

Body

Haven died Feb. 15, 2002, in Citra, Fla.; he was 88. He prepared at the Haverford School. At Princeton he majored in philosophy, was in the band, and was a member of Court Club.

He first worked for Breyers Ice Cream Co. as secretary and treasurer. He next held executive positions at Piesecki Helicopter Corp., All American Aviation Co., and finally, R.H. Donnelly Co. He and his wife, Ann, retired to Florida. During WWII, he was a member of the War Manpower Commission.

For our Fifty Yearbook, Haven and the late Sid Silleck '36 coordinated a "Football Folio" from their extensive collection of newspaper articles featuring the '36 football stars who, over their four years, lost only one game and received national recognition.

Haven was a devoted fan of the Big Band era before and after WWII. He offered several interested classmates tapes of his favorite band renditions, which he also played for invalids at nursing homes.

He is survived by his wife, Ann; sons Haven Jr. and Curtis; daughters Patsy Herricks and Lauren Scott; and brothers Wilbur '37 *43 and Laurence.
