Joseph Daniel Love Jr. ’67

Dan died Dec. 6, 2023, in Columbia, S.C.

He came to us from A.C. Flora High School in Columbia, where he was president of the student council and Key Club, vice president of the Southern Association of Student Councils, winner of the Elks Club leadership award, and played varsity football and baseball.

At Princeton, Dan was a psychology major and treasurer of Tower Club. He was a captain and payroll recorder for Commons, a member of Chapel deacons and the Undergraduate Schools Committee, and roomed with Jim Edmondson, Dave Kastan, and Don Hoagland.

Dan attended the University of Virginia Medical School, graduating in 1971. He did his residency at the University of California, San Francisco in internal medicine, finishing in 1974. At the encouragement of a local mentor and physician in South Carolina, he returned to Columbia in 1975 to practice and join the new medical school of the University of South Carolina. He was affiliated with Palmetto Pulmonary Associates and taught internal and pulmonary medicine at the university for his entire career. He married Arney Boyle in June of 1977, and they raised two daughters, Elizabeth and Nancy.

The family had a second home for vacations and weekend retreat, fixing up a historic beachfront house on Pawley’s Island, S.C. Dan’s medical schoolwork involved rotational periods at an affiliated clinic in Uganda, which permitted side travels to several other African countries. Dan wrote papers for the Forum Club in Columbia and the Columbia Medical Journal Club. His hobbies included music, repairing and painting furniture, shrimping in South Carolina’s estuaries and along the Atlantic Coast, and relaxing on his vacation home’s front porch overlooking the ocean.

Dan is survived by Arney, two daughters, four grandsons, sister Betty Dyer, and brother Michael.
