He came to Princeton from Plainfield High School, where he had excelled in basketball. He played the game freshman and sophomore years, then limited his sports to interclub competition in order to concentrate on his major, sociology. At Dial Lodge, he was on the club’s executive committee and worked closely with Dial’s vice president, Bill Plauth, who when informed of Pete’s death, spoke of his “enthusiasm, kindness, and good fellowship.”

Pete married his college sweetheart, Maureen Gilbert, in 1955. As an NROTC graduate, he spent three years as a Navy supply officer. He was interested in class affairs and served several years as ’53’s agent for memorial insurance. Surviving besides Maureen are his daughters, Corrine Ford and Susan Jones; sons Christopher and Timothy; five grandchildren; and his brother, John. Pete accepted his fate as gracefully as he lived his life.
