Frederick William Doolittle III ’62

Bill died March 29, 2019, of congestive heart failure in Clearwater, Fla.

Bill came to Princeton, where his father was a member of the Class of 1932, from the Lawrenceville School, but remained with us only until the second semester of our freshman year. Bill graduated from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1962 with a degree in business.

For six years thereafter, he served in the Marines and throughout later life remained active in supporting the cause of wounded veterans. After leaving the service, he worked in banking, accounting, and bookkeeping in New York and Richmond. Moving to Clearwater in the early 1980s, he worked for small businesses and on his own, handling taxes, payroll, and bookkeeping. He was still actively working up until a couple of weeks before his death.

The class offers its sympathies to Bill’s son, Frederick W. Doolittle IV.
