David Burton Driscoll ’64

On Dec. 6, 2001, our class lost a good friend when David died of cancer. He was 59. David, or Dip as many of his classmates knew him, arrived at Princeton as a self-described "precocious, spoiled youth," having prepared at Exeter. At Princeton, David impressed classmates with his smile and his cynical view of authority. He explained that this attitude was acquired at Exeter along with his nickname: Dip, David said, was "of course, short for cheese dip."

David swam at Princeton and sang in the Chapel Choir in addition to numerous student entrepreneurial activities. A member of Tower Club, he majored in history. Following graduation, David worked for Chase Manhattan Bank before establishing his own business in NYC real estate development and investment.

David is survived by his wife, Pat, his children, Hannah and Scott, and a brother, Scott '61. The class extends its deepest sympathy to the family.
