The class recently learned of the passing of Philip July 30, 2022, in Deerfield Beach, Fla.

Philip came to Princeton from Vestal (N.Y.) Central High School, where he played multiple sports, and was an All-American tackle in football. He was vice president of his class his senior year. Philip majored in electrical engineering at Princeton and became a member of Court Club.

He left Princeton early in 1960 and embarked on a career with Simplex Time Recording Co., serving as a branch manager in various locations. He enjoyed traveling with his wife, Diane, in Switzerland and Mexico, as well as much of the United States and Canada. His avocations included audio and video technology, and later in life singing with a community choir group, rekindling an early love from school days.

Philip was predeceased by Diane and son Charles. At the time of his death he was survived by his daughters, Kimberly Perez and Kristen Iwashchenko; son Brian; six grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. The class extends its condolences to the family.
