He lived in Roseland, N.J., after having grown up in nearby Livingston, where he was president of his class and all-state in football. He had a late-50s-style crew cut consistent with all the above.
At Princeton he took his meals at Cottage and lettered in lacrosse. Don was a central figure in the great athletic legacy of our class — at Princeton he was All-Ivy as the tailback of our undefeated football team and in 1978 was the second person inducted into Livingston High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame.
Don remained active in the class and was beloved for his cheerful, low-key personality and his frequent screening at class events of our epic 35-14 victory over Yale in New Haven senior year. After a long, rewarding career on Wall Street, finally at UBS, Don retired recently as senior vice president of an executive wealth-management firm.
He is survived by his wife, Martha; daughters Liz Conklin, Stefanie Emmons, and Kristin Levin; sons Scott and Doug; all of their spouses; and numerous grandchildren. The class extends its condolences to all of them on the loss of a first-class leader and fine family man.
