Body

Paul died unexpectedly Dec. 5, 2017, in Adelaide, Australia.

He came to us from Roxbury (N.J.) High School, where he participated in football, basketball, track, and dramatics.

At Princeton, Paul majored in chemical engineering. He played freshman and JV football. He joined Terrace Club, where he served as social chairman and participated in IAA sports. His other activities were the Flying Club and the Thirsty Thursday Club.

Paul withdrew from Princeton in June 1957 and entered Northeastern University on the work-study program. In 1965, Paul emigrated to Australia.

Paul is survived by his wife, Robyn; children Hew and Kim; their spouses Jennifer and Gary; and grandchildren Jordan and Sienna. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
