Peter Litt ’55

Peter Litt was born in Chicago Aug. 25, 1933. He came to Princeton from the Harvard School in Chicago. He joined Charter Club, majored in art and archaeology, and wrote his senior thesis on fifth-century B.C. Greek sculpture and Roman copies. He was a member of the Prince of Wales Club and roomed with Bob Olson, Hank Grove, and Bud Dice.

After graduation, Peter worked as a manufacturers’ representative. He played a lot of golf, including two months in California in the winter. Whenever and wherever he could, he fished. Pete loved socializing with the many good friends he and his wife, Joan Heilbronner Litt (to whom he was married for 55 years), made in their community of Highland Park, Ill. Pete was also an avid reader.

On June 13, 2014, Peter died at age 80. He is survived by Joan; children Ellen Cliffer, Bob, and Steven; and grandchildren Josh, Jessie, and Matthew Cliffer and Emily, Sam, Megan, Jason, Allison, Rebecca, and Alex Litt. To them all, the class extends its sympathy.
