Edwin M. Mulock III ’61

The son and grandson of Princetonians, Ed died Dec. 3, 2018, at home in Darien, Conn., after a yearlong struggle with cancer.

Born in Detroit, he came to Princeton from Hackley School in Tarrytown, N.Y. At Princeton he ate at Key & Seal, was in the Sailing Club, and ran cross-country. He roomed with Pierce Selwood, Mike Hewitt, Geoff Smith, and Mort Rible. He left after junior year and earned a bachelor’s degree in economics at Michigan State and a master’s degree at Darden in economics. Later on he earned an MBA at Adelphi.

Ed spent his entire career in computer-systems development and information-services management with Bristol-Myers Squibb and Hoffman-LaRoche Pharmaceuticals. A resident of Darien since 1973, he was active in the community with a number of charitable and civic organizations and was able to indulge his passion for sailing at the Noroton Yacht Club, where he served as its foredeck man for years.

After an absence, Ed reconnected with the class in recent years and became a reunion and events regular, attending many Princeton-Yale athletic events in New Haven with a small coterie of Connecticut classmates.

He is survived by Neville, his wife of 54 years and the daughter of a Princetonian; his children Lyndsay and Luke; and two grandchildren.
