Malcolm D. Crawford ’50

Mac died May 26, 2007.

Born in New Jersey, he came to Princeton from The Hill School. At Princeton, Mac played rugby for three years, captaining the team his junior and senior years. He belonged to Cottage Club and graduated cum laude in economics.

After two years in the Army, mostly in Germany, he took a position with Rogers Peet Co. in New York. Attending night school at NYU, Mac earned an MBA in 1956, and two decades later earned a master's in fine arts from Fairfield (Conn.) University.

For our 25th, he wrote that by 1970 he "had become somewhat disenchanted with the retail business." Wishing to use his financial experience in a more meaningful and challenging way, he joined Danbury (Conn.) Hospital as chief financial officer and worked happily there until he retired in 1993.

Mac was a Rotarian. He volunteered at his church, at local public schools, and at Norwalk (Conn.) Community College, where he found tutoring accounting his favorite volunteer commitment.

We share the passing of this gentle man with Virginia, his beloved wife of almost 30 years; his blended family of three daughters and two stepdaughters; eight grandchildren; and a sister.
