H. Bartlett Brown ’58

Bart died Oct. 14, 2023, in Glen Ridge, N.J. He was 87.

He came to Princeton from Glen Ridge High School, where he was active in student government, band, orchestra, and was editor of the school yearbook.

At Princeton, Bart was president of the Chapel Choir and the Glee Club and a member of the Band. His major was the Special Program in European Civilization. He roomed with Charlie Puttkammer and Martin Lodge and was a member of Terrace Club.

After graduation, he earned an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1960 and became a CPA in 1964. Bart joined Arthur Young & Co. and eventually became a partner specializing in international taxation. In 1977, he moved to the Brussels office and was put in charge of the company’s tax practice throughout Europe.

Music was his greatest love — he was born with perfect pitch and played string bass and sousaphone, and at Princeton he learned to play the organ in the Princeton Episcopal church. In 1984, he joined the Cecilia Chorus of New York, and was a member for 30 years.

Bart is survived by his sister-in-law, three nieces, and several grand and great nieces and nephews. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
