Maturin L. Delafield ’55

Mat died April 11, 2007, in Princeton after a valiant struggle against Parkinson’s disease.

Born in New York City he attended Pomfret School. At Princeton, Mat majored in sociology, was a member of Charter, and senior year roomed with Rod Ferris and Arthur Pew.

After graduation he joined the family investment business, Delafield & Delafield, and in 1970 founded the firm of Delafield, Harvey, Tabell. This company was purchased by United States Trust in 1992, and Mat remained with it until his retirement in 1995.

Tim and Martha Rogers stayed in touch with Mat and his wife, Louise, over the years and marveled at his good spirits, enthusiasm for life, and determination to combat his debilitating disease. This was evident by his participation in our 45th reunion.

Mat is survived by Louise, four stepchildren, and three grandchildren. He was predeceased by a son, Livy. To Louise and the family, the class extends deepest sympathy.
