Lucius Wilmerding III ’52

Luke came to us from Milton Academy. At Princeton, where his father was in the Class of 1927, he joined Colonial Club and majored in history. He ran track, wrestled, and belonged to the Flying Club and International Students Association. His roommate was Walt Weidler.

After service in the Army Field Artillery he worked as an investment officer with US Trust until 1970, when he founded his own firm, Wilmerding Miller and Co., in Princeton. Outside the office, he took part in a number of nonprofits, including Princeton Day School, the Princeton Task Force on Ethics, the YMCA of Greater New York, and several efforts at preserving the environment, among them the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association.

Luke died May 25, 2018. He is survived by his wife, Adela; and their children, Gay, Murray, and Austin. To them the class sends good wishes and appreciation of Luke’s service to our country and to the Princeton community.
