Harvey J. Dice ’55

Harvey Dice, son of H.W. Dice, was born in Pocatello, Idaho, Nov. 1, 1933. He died June 13, 2013, of heart problems after a long musical life.

Coming to Princeton from Memphis (Tenn.) Technical High School, Harvey chose psychology as his major and joined Tower Club. He was in Air Force ROTC, toured with Triangle Club, and sang with the Tigertones. Senior year he roomed with Bob Olson, Henry Grove, and Peter Litt at 211 Walker.

He flew jet fighters for the Air Force, and then returned to Memphis, where he spent the rest of his life. He served in the Air Force Reserve until retiring as a colonel.

Harvey’s business career was mainly as manager of the Holiday Inn training department, at which he excelled, but also included working as programming director for Memphis State College’s television station, where he could incorporate his love of music.

With Triangle and the Tigertones — and later with his church choir and in local theatrical musicals — Harvey sang his way through life. To his wife, Diane; daughter Carol; son Paul; and grandchildren Casey and Collin, the class extends sympathy.
