David Scott Foster Jr. ’58

Scott died Feb. 16, 2017, in Hilton Head, S.C., after a prolonged illness.

He entered Princeton from Deerfield and Lawrenceville. A psychology major, he ate his meals at Tiger Inn. Scott roomed with Steve Ball and Kirk Kirkpatrick during his senior year.

In June 1958 he married Helen Lardner, and after a three-year tour with the Air Force he joined Pershing & Co. in 1961. Scott was divorced in 1970 and later married Susan Morgan. In 1975 he moved to the New York Stock Exchange, where he finished his career as a self-employed floor broker.

During his working years, he lived in Tewksbury Township, N.J. He served his community as a board member of Provident Bank, an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and a trustee of Muhlenberg Hospital.

Scott was an outstanding trap and skeet shooter. His greatest passion, outside of his family, was the Log Cabin Gun Club in Plainfield, N.J., of which he was a member for 54 years and served as its president for 15 years. The club named him its “Centennial Member” upon its 100th anniversary.

Scott is survived by Susan; daughters Laura Ruiz and Liz Crowley; sons Robert, Morgan, and David “Turk” Scott III; nine grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. The class extends its deepest condolences to them all.
