Michael Stuart Wurmfeld ’61 *63

We lost Mike to cancer on July 16, 2000, after a long and courageous struggle.

Born and raised in NYC, he came to us from Horace Mann School. At Princeton he was a member of Tower. An architecture major, he went on to earn an MFA from Princeton and to attend the U. of Rome as a Fulbright scholar.

Then followed a distinguished career in architecture as president of Wurmfeld Associates in NYC and in professional associations here and abroad. He was especially proud of the many projects in which he was involved at Princeton, working with director of physical planning Jon Hlafter '61*63, who was his roommate in graduate school. Among them were the Class of '52 Stadium, Stevens Fitness Center at Dillon, and the Squash Center at Jadwin. An active member of the class, Mike was a regular at reunions and other class events. Mike is survived by his wife, Hope, son Charles, daughter Eden, his mother, and a brother, whom we join in mourning his passing.
