Philip Gilett Cole ’43

The class lost Phil Mar. 31, 2004; he was 83.

Following Princeton and Army service in the Pacific during WWII, he earned a law degree from Harvard Law School.

Phil was a practicing attorney in Colorado and New York all his working life. He was admitted to argue cases before the Colorado Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court. He and his partner, Colorado Gov. John Love, founded the law firm Love and Cole.

The chief thrust of Phil's life, other than work and family, was furthering higher education. To this end, Phil served in the development office of Dartmouth College, lectured in economics at Colorado College, and served on the boards of Lake Placid Education Foundation and the Northwood School.

He was predeceased by his wife, the former Anne-Hart Brown, in 1997. He is survived by two sons, Philip G. III and Christopher; two daughters, Elizabeth and Katherine Bedell; four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and a sister, Katherine Cole. To the entire family, we offer our deepest sympathies.
