John Wyatt Randolph ’61

Body

John died of prostate cancer on Sept. 21, 2000, at Monongalia General Hosp. in Morgantown, W.Va., his home of many years.

Born in Clarksburg, W.Va., John prepared for Princeton at Washington Irving H.S., where he was elected to the Natl. Honor Society. At Princeton his love of music was exemplified by his membership in the Glee Club and the Chapel Choir. John took his meals at Tower and majored in mathematics. Following his earning a PhD in mathematics, John embarked on a teaching career that culminated in a professional position at W. Va. U.

He is survived by his wife, Eleanore, three sons, and two daughters, two stepsons, a brother, and a grandson. With them, we mourn the passing of our classmate.
