Douglas Hunt ’67

Doug Hunt died suddenly Oct. 25, 2015, only two days after attending a reunion of Princeton Glee Club members. Doug had been singing since his school days, and he remained involved with music and singing groups until the end.

Doug came to Princeton from Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Ill. At Princeton, Doug lived in Joline Hall, majored in mathematics, and graduated with honors. He took his meals at Campus Club, but it was the Glee Club that provided his happiest activity.

After graduation, Doug earned a master’s degree in 1969 from the University of Wisconsin Department of Computer Science and later a second master’s degree in electrical engineering from MIT. While at MIT he performed in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas at Harvard and Boston University and also performed with the Chorus Pro Musica. In summers he sang with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in western Massachusetts.

After MIT, Doug stayed in the Boston area. He began a long and remarkably influential career designing, managing, consulting, and creating both hardware and software.

Doug was married to Holly Hunt and left behind a daughter, Katherine, and a son, Thomas. Since college he had been a voice of and supporter for music, his favorite Princeton activity.
