Harmon Liveright Remmel ’32

After a four-year battle against leukemia, Buck Remmel died in N.Y. on Dec. 19, 1989. Although he spent only two years at Princeton, he became one of our most devoted classmates. He attended innumerable Class functions, served a term as Class Agent, and had a host of Princeton friends. Bill Renchard '28 delivered the eulogy at his funeral, Laurie Rockefeller was one of his pallbearers. A medley of Princeton songs was played at the service. We will miss his warm and friendly presence.

Buck's life was spent in banking, with Chemical Bank in N.Y. before the war, and with White Weld, after it. During the war itself he served in the Air Force. He was discharged a Lt. Colonel.

Buck was very interested in medicine and gave much of his time and energy to it. He was on the board of the Southampton Hospital, and was treasurer of the Southampton Nursing Home. In N.Y. he was a board member of the Manhattan Eye and Ear Infirmary. He was married twice, first to the former Jaquelin Towsen, by whom he had a daughter Alexandra and a son, H. Lawrence '75. His second marriage was to the former Jean Purrington. He lived in N.Y., summered in Southampton, and belonged to the Links and Metropolitan Clubs in N.Y., and the Shinnecock and Southampton Clubs on Long Island. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by two sisters and three brothers, all of Little Rock, Ark., and by two grandchildren.
