Body

Dan died June 14, 2013, at a retirement home in Dedham, Mass., from complications of pneumonia.

Throughout his life, Dan maintained his ties with Princeton and designated the University library for remembrances in his memory.

He was a lifelong resident of Newton, Mass., and graduated from Newton High School. At Princeton, he was active in Whig-Clio and the Bridge Club. His major was in the School of Public and International Affairs.

Soon after graduation, he entered the Army, serving most of his two-year hitch with the 2nd Armored Division in Germany, where he observed that President Truman’s edict to integrate the Army “was going smoothly.” After his discharge, he returned to Boston and joined State Street Bank and Trust Co., now State Street Corp. He worked as a corporate trust officer for State Street his entire career, retiring after 50 years.

Dan was active in local Democratic politics and traveled extensively. He never married.

We extend our sympathy to his nephews, Michael and David Golden, and his niece, Judy Golden.
