James W. Haugh ’58

Jim died Jan. 27, 2026, in Hinsdale, Ill. He was 89.

He came to Princeton from New Trier High School, where he was active in golf and the editor of the school newspaper. At Princeton, Jim majored in economics and was a member of Quadrangle Club, where he participated in IAA sports. He was a member of the Undergraduate Council, a Keyceptor, and sang in the freshman and varsity Glee Clubs.

After graduation, Jim married Jane McFeatters in 1967. He went to the University of Michigan Law School and completed postgraduate work at the University of Chicago’s economics program. Jim also served as an Army intelligence officer in the early 1960s.

Jim spent much of his career as a partner at KPMG, where he became a nationally respected authority in bank taxation and helped build the firm’s bank tax practice into a leading national model.

He was a fiercely loyal sports fan, especially for the White Sox, Bulls, and Princeton Tigers. He was also a passionate golfer and especially cherished Saturday-morning doubles tennis, which he played almost every week for more than 30 years.

Jim is survived by Jane, their four children, and 12 grandchildren. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
