David Stuart Hemingway ’36

Dave died Sept. 17, 1998. A graduate of Hotchkiss, at Princeton he majored in economics and played on our undefeated freshman football team. He was a member of Cap and Gown.

During his alumni years he was class president, class agent, and reunion chairman. For 25 years, until his death, he chaired Annual Giving's Greenwich [Conn.] Township Region, which, in its size category (200-300 alumni), was always first in participation. Last year it had 77.9%. In 1986 he was AG's first recipient of the Jerry Horton Award for Outstanding Service.

During WWII, as a Navy Air Combat intelligence officer, he served in anti-submarine duty along the east coasts of the U.S. and Central and South America. He was next assigned to a fighter-bomber squadron awaiting action in the proposed invasion of Japan when the war ended. After three years of service he retired as a lieutenant commander.

Dave served in management positions in the food import, canning, and printing industries. At the time of his death he owned an industrial supply company.

He is survived by sons D. Stuart Jr., Timothy T., and Samuel S., daughters Margaret and Barbara, brothers Booth and Harvey W., sister Margaret Harrington, and four grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife, Lucy. Dave was a class legend. He will indeed be missed.
