Peter Campbell ’62

Pete Campbell died Oct. 23, 1995, at home in Hohokus, N.J. More than 400 friends attended his memorial service, including several classmates. He is survived by his mother, Helen, his father, W. A. '33, his brother and sister, as well as his devoted wife, Karen, and their three children, Peter Jr., Debbie, and Wendy.

Many will remember Pete as the all-American basketball player who broke Chet Forte's Ivy League scoring record. But for those who really knew him, this was only one of a number of accomplishments on his never-ending, and often-achieved, quest for excellence. A brilliant math mind, Pete graduated from Harvard Business School and worked first at Price Waterhouse, then as comptroller at First Boston. He then became CFO of Dillon, Read, and finally, was an options trader on the American Stock Exchange. He also was golf champion at the Ridgewood Country Club.

To those who knew Pete after Princeton, two qualities immediately come to mind. First, there was his deep dedication to his wife and children and to his parents, particularly his father. Second, was Pete's total commitment to honesty. Pete has now moved on in his quest for excellence. He will be missed by those who shared his friendship on this plane of existence.
