Leighton B. Ford ’57

Lee came to Princeton from Episcopal Academy in suburban Philadelphia.

At Princeton he majored in psychology and joined Cannon Club. His senior-year roommates were Nate Bachman, Bill Danforth, Frank Ittel, Bob Knisley, Bob Mack, Ron Nelson, and Bill Yohn. Lee won two varsity baseball letters as a pitcher.

Lee married Dottie Masteller in April 1958. Tall and handsome and blond and artistic, Lee and Dottie were a stunning couple. They settled on the Philadelphia Main Line, where he worked primarily in the family business. Lee loved golf and was a superior golfer. He had played gold at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa., since he was 12. He became club champion in Pine Valley, N.J. Lee retired early to Stuart, Fla., and spent 23 years there.

Lee died Aug. 6, 2017, of complications from Alzheimer’s at age 82. Lee is survived by Dottie; daughter Kim and her husband, David; son Keith and his wife, Kim; and five grandchildren. We offer condolences.
