Lawrence O. Snead III ’75

LAWRENCE O. SNEAD died Jan. 20, 1990, of brain cancer. An extraordinarily knowledgeable and wonderfully witty gentleman, Lawrence came to Princeton from St. Christopher's School in his boyhood hometown of Richmond, Va. While at Princeton, he majored in philosophy and was a devoted member of Ivy.

After graduating from U.Va. law school in 1979, he practiced law in Washington, D.C. In 1983 he joined Dowe, Lohnes, and Albertson, where, with David Bantleon, he founded the firm's banking and financial Institutions practice. He was a partner at the time of his death. A connoisseur with many and varied interests, he possessed noteworthy collections of old silver, antique carpets, paintings, and rare books.

Lawrence maintained dose friendships with many classmates after graduation, and, characteristically resplendent in starched shirt and bow tie, often returned to campus for Reunions. His classmates will miss his quiet and precise humor, and the twinkle in his eye.

To his father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. L. O. Snead Jr., and to his brother, Charles, the Class extends its deepest sympathy.
