H. Lloyd Thomas Jr. ’32 *33

Body

Lloyd Thomas died at Holy Redeemer Hospital, Mar. 24, 1997, in Southampton, Pa., where he had lived and worked for most of his life. After college he went into the real estate brokerage business in Southampton with Granor & Co., from which he retired only recently. He was a man of many interests, particularly big-band music, of which he had a large collection of records, and was a friend of Benny Goodman and Fred Waring. In 1974 he took up serious mountain hiking and climbed the highest peaks in the East. At the same time he became immersed in literature concerning mountaineering and had a particular fondness for books by other Princetonians, including John McPhee '53 and our classmate Peter Schwed.

Lloyd's wife of many years, Jane, predeceased him. He is survived by his daughters, Jean Tempke and Kathy Best, and by two granddaughters, to all of whom the class extends its sincere condolences.
