Laurence B. Huston Jr. ’49

Larry died Feb. 3, 2015, in Hartford, Conn.

Larry came to Princeton from William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia, his hometown. He majored in economics, was a member of Tiger Inn, and served on the 1949 class committee.

After graduation he went to work for Aetna Insurance Co., and stayed with the company for 36 years, retiring in 1986 as an assistant vice president of the group division. From 1990 until 2002, the Hustons lived in Ponte Vedra, Fla., but later returned to Hartford to be near their daughter and her children.

Other than his work and his family, Larry’s major interest was golf. He was a member of the Hartford Golf Club for 50 years, serving as its president from 1971 to 1973, and was active in numerous golfing associations. He was also a trustee of Kingswood Oxford School and a member of Asylum Hill Congregational Church.

Larry is survived by his daughter, Wendy H. Gabree; two grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. He was predeceased by Nancy, his wife of 63 years, in 2013, and his son, Laurence B. Huston III. The class sends condolences to Wendy and her family.
