John L. L. Duer ’51

John died Sept. 26, 2002, of atherosclerotic heart disease. He was born Dec. 8, 1927, to Ferdinand L. Mayer '09 and Katharine Duer Mayer. He went to Brooks School and served in the Army from 1945-47 in Austria prior to coming to Princeton, where he was a religion major.

We knew him as Jack Mayer. He assumed his mother's surname in 1970. In 1958 he received a master's in art history from NYU. John lived in NYC and was a member of the Princeton Club. He never married.

Surviving are his three sisters, Lucie McKee, Katharine Aimers, and Elizabeth Mayer; five nieces and nephews; and eight grandnephews.

The family asks that donations in his memory be made to Princeton. They have our sympathy and our thanks.
