David Duffield Deacon ’40

Only recently have we learned of the death of Dave Deacon, whose location at the time of his death, Apr. 9, 1995, was Newnan, Ga. He was raised in NYC and prepared at Loomis School, where he participated in tennis, squash, and the Glee Club. At Princeton he concentrated in modern languages and literature and was a member of Elm Club. After graduation Dave unfortunately did not contribute to our class publications and other news outlets, so we are quite unaware of his later life's occupation, career, and interests.

He leaves his widow, Frances; two sons, William and David; a stepdaughter, Ann F. Estes; two stepsons, Charles and Bluford Fowler; six grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; six stepgrandchildren; and one step-great-grandchild. The class deeply regrets the loss of Dave Deacon, shares the grief of his family, and is sorry to have lost touch with him over the years since graduation from Princeton.
