Darius Lee Goff ’42

Bud died May 9, 1998, in Sanibel, Fla., where he had established winter residence a few years ago. Although a native of Rhode Island, he moved to Bermuda in 1969 and, with his wife, Paula, hosted the class minireunion there in 1989. Despite leaving Princeton after freshman year he was one of our most enthusiastic and loyal classmates.

Having prepared for Princeton at Northwood, Bud stayed long enough to make a host of friends, leaving to enter the business world in Rhode Island. During WWII, he was an instructor in the Army Air Corps for three years. After the war he worked successively as general manager and treasurer of Anchor Edge, Inc., in Providence, general manager of Anco Products, v.p. of Trowbridge, Creamer & Case (advertising), and president/treasurer of Tradewinds Travel Agency, also in Providence. Before selling out his business interests and moving to Bermuda, Bud also served two terms as a representative from the city of Warwick to the Rhode Island General Assembly and then two years as mayor.

To his three sons, Peter, Lyman '65, and Stephen; to his nine grandchildren; and to his companion, Barbara Fales, the class offers its most sincere condolences.
