Donald A. Corkran ’59

Don died March 31, 2015, in Chadds Ford, Pa.

He came to Princeton from Tower Hill School in Wilmington, Del. His freshman year he roomed with Woody Woodhouse and Jim Sharp in Patton Hall but withdrew midway through the year. Completing his education at the University of Delaware, he joined the Wilmington Trust Co. as an investment-analyst and stayed until his retirement in 1993, becoming a member of the senior management committee and ultimately senior vice president in charge of the trust department.

A member of the Wilmington Club and the Wilmington Country Club, Don summered in western Maine for many years and was an avid outdoorsman, devoted to boating, hunting, and fishing.

He was survived by his wife of 53 years, Susan; sons Richard and Edmund; daughter Elinor Murphy; and four grandchildren, to whom we offer our condolences.
