Paul Lippincott ’63

Body

PAUL LIPPINCOTT died at his home Apr. 24, 1990. He came to Princeton from St. Paul's School, preceded at Princeton by his father, his brother Walter '61, and his uncle Bill Lippincott '41, who was the legendary dean of students during our tenure.

At Princeton, Paul majored in art and archaeology and was a member of Ivy. For four years after graduation he served in the Navy. After the service, he married Lisa Baker. They had two sons, William and Alexander. In 1968 Paul went to work at the Crown NonFerrous Foundry, a family business specializing in castings for ships, where he served as president from 1972 until the company was sold in 1985. Paul became sales manager for the newly formed company.

An enthusiast for family history and the restoration of old houses, Paul had a strong sense of tradition and place, and was a loyal supporter of both St. Paul's and Princeton. An extremely convivial man with a marvelous sense of humor, Paul enjoyed entertainment and keeping alive the bonds of schoolday friendships. He was an extraordinary cook of gourmet cuisines, a talent he exercised as a member of the Rabbit Club in Philadelphia where the membership is responsible for planning and preparing the weekly meals. He was also a member of the Philadelphia Club. Paul had a great fondness for his boyhood haunts of Northeast Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Me., where he is buried. To his family, the Class extends its deepest sympathies.
