Donald F. Crowley ’63

Don died July 23, 2015, at home in Johns Creek, Ga., after a brief battle with bladder cancer. He had lived in the Atlanta area since retiring in 1999 from a successful career in human resources.
At Princeton, Don majored in psychology and was president of Cannon Club. He was student manager of University Cleaners and a member of Orange Key’s steering committee. Don lived at Cannon during his senior year with Asher, Heffernan, Hyland, White, and Greg Riley.
A generous and affable man with a robust sense of humor, Don had a wide circle of friends and was broadly respected. He worked for Citicorp, Chemical Bank, and Xerox, and chaired a lobbying group for employers’ flexible-compensation plans.
Deeply religious, he cherished his Catholic faith. Don helped construct a church in Georgia and was a director of the Academy of Our Lady of Mercy in Milford, Conn., and of the Howard School in Atlanta.
“Don was one of the finest men I ever knew,” said Ed White. “He was always a loyal, honest friend who was full of compassion and understanding.”
The class offers condolences to his wife, Natalie; daughters Maureen Crowley, Christine Roenitz, and Eileen Balderas; seven grandchildren; and brother Michael.
