Murray Robert Mathews Jr. ’64

Murray "the Mole" died at his home in South Natick, Mass., Apr. 29, 2003, after a struggle with cancer and a stroke.

He came to Princeton from Governor Dummer Academy, where he was ranking scholar. At Princeton he majored in history and was active in Charter and Triangle clubs. He earned an MBA from Harvard in 1967 and became a CPA in 1971. During his junior and senior years, Murray was a resident of the infamous "Slipshod Manor" in the Blair-Joline Tower along with Doug Brady '65, Van Williams '65, and Lee Wright '64. These four remained close, and many nights were spent recounting their adventures, including creating the legendary "Ivy League Marriage of the Week Award" in 1963-64.

Murray was a founding officer of Metagraphics and Nitromed in Woburn, Mass., and founding controller for National Medical Care (now Fresenius Medical Care). Recently, he had been CFO and consultant to several other companies in the Boston area.

Classmates Lee Wright, Phil Dickinson and John Parfitt attended his funeral as did close friends David Goodrich '63 and Van Williams '65.

Murray is survived by his wife, Cindy, and sons Jeffrey and Andrew. A daughter, Betsy, died in 1983. The class sends its deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
