Michael Kulik ’90

Body

THE CLASS regrets to report that it recently learned of the death of Michael Kulik, who took his own life on May 27, 1991.

Michael was born in the Ukrainian city of Kiev in 1968, and he came to the U.S. at the age of five. A big fan of the outdoors, he enjoyed camping, mountain biking, and hiking, as well as squash and racquetball. He graduated from Jamaica High School in Fresh Meadows, N.Y., before coming to Princeton, where he was an English major.

At Princeton, Michael lived in Butler College for two years. His junior and senior roommate was GianCarlo Vellutino.

To Michael's father, Alex; his mother, Natalie; and his older brother, Gregory; the Class extends its deepest sympathy.
