Dan died May 25, 2016, at Cadia Renaissance in Millsboro, Del.

Dan came to Princeton from Exeter and majored in English. A member of Tiger Inn, he served on its bicker committee. Dan was on the swimming team, which he captained his senior year. His senior-year roommates were Cannell, Flagler, McKeon, Scribner, and G. Smith. Reunions with these roommates were a much-anticipated annual event for almost 60 years.

Upon graduation, Dan served in the Navy. In 1964, Dan received an MBA from the Darden School at the University of Virginia. After a fling at an entrepreneurial publishing venture and some years at an advertising firm, Dan earned a master’s degree in informational sciences from Columbia. He taught at Darden and then spent a number of years in administration of nonprofit organizations. Later he relocated to New Hope, Pa., and worked in real estate.

After retiring he and his wife, Sandi, moved to Delaware, where Dan served as an AmeriCorps volunteer and joined other volunteers to assist in rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Dan could always be found with a book in his hand and loved music, with a particular fondness for musicals. Everyone appreciated Dan’s sense of humor.

The class extends deepest sympathy to Dan’s wife; his daughters, Francesca and Danielle; three granddaughters; and his brother, Michael.
