Perry K. Neubauer ’62

Perry died Nov. 13, 2024.

He came to us from Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Va., where he was captain of the basketball team, played baseball, and sang in the choir. At Princeton, he majored in architecture, managed the Banner Agency, was art editor of the Bric-a-Brac, and was in ROTC, serving as vice president of the Artillery Club. A member of Quadrangle, he chaired the club building committee.

Granted a four-year deferment, Perry earned master’s degrees from Harvard in architecture and urban design. He joined the Architects Collaborative in 1965, ending his work career there as the president in 1993. In 1966, he went on active duty, spending a year in Vietnam commanding an engineer company. First handling construction work, his unit reverted to combat engineers during the Tet Offensive. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Commendation Medal with a Combat V.

Perry met his wife, Susie, in the Presbyterian Church’s choir his senior year, later marrying in the Nassau Street church. He played the cello, enthusiastically served his church, and wrote his memories.

The class extends its condolences to Susie, son Ben, daughter Bethany, and granddaughter Phoebe.
