Dwight H. Livingstone ’50

Dwight died May 17, 2017, in New Jersey. Born in 1924, he was one of our older classmates.

He graduated from Hope (R.I.) High School and entered the Navy in 1942. He served with Night Torpedo Squadron 55 aboard the carrier Enterprise. He was discharged in 1946 as a lieutenant, junior grade. Though Dwight was in the Class of  ’50, he graduated in 1949. He was a member of Terrace and majored in psychology.

After personnel jobs in the textile industry, he joined Allstate Insurance Co. in New York in 1955. By 1975, his job had taken him to St. Petersburg, Fla., where he lived well after he retired as senior vice president of corporate and human relations. He counted as his most cherished business achievement the development and implementation of Allstate’s well-regarded affirmative-action program. He enjoyed sailing and fishing.

Dwight married Margaret Mills in the Princeton Chapel in April 1949. They had four children, Margaret, David, Beth ’79, and Cathy; and nine grandchildren. His wife Margaret, daughter Margaret, and second wife, Edith, predeceased him. Granddaughter Caite Panzer ’04, along with her mother, Beth, made three generations of Princetonians, of whom Dwight was really proud.
