John C. Ballin ’60

Word has recently come to the class that John died Oct. 11, 2021.

A son of the Class of 1910, he came to Princeton from Darien (Conn.) High School as a member in the Class of 1956. He played freshman football and freshman and varsity track. He joined Cottage Club but left in June 1954 to serve in the Army. He returned as a member of our class. John majored in English and wrote his thesis on George Bernard Shaw. He married and lived off campus his senior year.

John fell out of contact with the class after graduation and we know nothing of his post-graduate years except that he moved several places in the Northeast before settling in Raleigh, N.C., in retirement. At the time of his death, he was survived by his wife of almost 50 years, Jane; two daughters; and two grandsons, to whom we offer our belated condolences.
