Marvin J. Diamond ’62

Marv died Jan. 7, 2025, in Naples, Fla.

He came to us from Columbia Grammar School in New York City, where he played soccer, basketball, and baseball, was editor of the school yearbook, and president of the senior council. At Princeton, he managed crew, belonged to Orange Key, was a sportscaster for WPRB, and ROTC cadet battalion commander, and majored in history. He ate at Elm, where he played IAA touch football, basketball, and softball.

Following graduation Marv served in the Army from 1963 to 1965 and graduated from Yale Law School in 1968. He joined the law firm of Hogan & Hartson, where he spent his career specializing in communications law.

He married Melynda Taylor in 1982, and they had one son, Joel. After his first marriage ended and he retired to Naples, Fla., Marv’s second marriage many years later was to Susan Pauker in 2004; she died in 2009. He then met Jewell Harris, his devoted partner for the last 13 years of his life.

Marv is survived by Jewell; son Joel ’05; and brother Richard ’65. The class extends sympathy to all.
