John Frederick Bright ’61

We lost Jack March 1, 2021, when he died in his native Edgewood, Pa. He came to us from Lawrenceville School. At Princeton he majored in economics, ate at Terrace, ran varsity cross-country, and was a member of the Hispanic Club, The Princeton Tiger, and the AIESEC committee. In senior year he roomed with John Douw and Jerry O’Neill.

Following Princeton Jack earned an MBA at the University of Pittsburgh and then began a career in financial services, working in investments and insurance and along the way owning a local book store. He was active in Edgewood, a community in suburban Pittsburgh, on the Borough Council and the Edgewood Republican Committee, in which capacity he served in many an election campaign. He never retired, being still fully active in all of these endeavors.

Jack is survived by his sons, Frederick and Alfram; his two grandchildren; his twin brother, Bill; and his sister, Janice.
