John Gurd McCulloch ’38

Body

PRINCETON AND OUR CLASS lost a truly loyal friend when John died Dec. 30, 1990. John prepared at Choate. At Princeton, he roomed with Dan Coyle, Frank Hamilton, Tom Wood, and Bill Wood, and belonged to Colonial Club and Triangle. He went on to Harvard Business School, where he roomed with John Laporte.

In 1941, he married Natalie Warren and began his career as a certified public accountant. He worked for Price Waterhouse, then James D. Miller in N.Y., with an interruption for service in the Army's cost analysis branch from 1943 to 1946. He also worked for Motor Finance, before forming his own firm. In 1976, He retired to Osprey, Fla., where he served as treasurer of the Sarasota Harvard Club and was a member of the Princeton Club of Sarasota and the St. Andrew's Society.

He was a past treasurer of our Class, class agent, and A.G. chairman for Short Hills, NJ., with a 100% participation. New Eyes for the Needy was another interest.

We remember John for his war in friendship, his enthusiasm for Princeton, and his marvelous laugh. Deepest sympathy is extended to Nat, his beloved wife of 50 years, his brother Bill '37, and to all who knew and loved John.
