Harold H. Seikel ’49

Harold died Feb. 19, 2015, at the age of 86. At that time, he had been a resident of Seaford, N.Y., for more than 40 years and had been practicing law for at least as long as that.

Harold came to Princeton from Jamaica High School, where he was on the swim team and sang in the Glee Club. He left Princeton without graduating, and later described himself (in our 10th yearbook) as follows: “I was a MBDNG — one who Matriculated But Did Not Graduate. After this, I conducted my own business (catering), then re-entered college, taking my bachelor’s at Hofstra and my law degree at New York Law School.” He went on to write, “My activities have and always will, I guess, include everything athletic at Princeton.”

After this, we heard nothing more directly from Harold over the years. We did learn that he and his wife had three children, Jeffrey, Lisa, and Karen, and we believe they survive him.

We regret the loss of this member of the Class of 1949, and we extend our deep condolences to Harold’s family.
