Donald A. Slichter ’54

Duke died suddenly April 6, 2015, while vacationing in Florence, Italy.

Born in Milwaukee, he attended Milwaukee University School. While at Princeton, he majored in the Woodrow Wilson School, was a member of Cannon Club, and was active in football. Duke entered the Navy following graduation. After serving his tour of duty, he graduated from the University of Michigan Law School and joined a law firm in San Francisco, where he specialized in corporate and securities law.

He retired around the time of our 50th reunion and enjoyed activities at UC, Berkeley. He and his wife, Vicki, traveled to Florence yearly, where she studied Italian and cooking. During his years after college, Duke was intensely interested in Princeton football and spent time helping to recruit players.

The class is honored by his service to our country and extends condolences to Vicki; their children, K.C., Kathryn, Mark, and Amy; and eight grandchildren.
