Philip Leigh Wickenden ’57

Phil Wickenden died June 2, 1996, in Baltimore, in the aftermath of surgery.

Phil graduated from Horace Greeley H.S. in Chappaqua, N.Y. At Princeton Phil majored in economics, was a member of Cottage Club, and a manager of Esquire Sales.

Phil received his MBA from Wharton School, worked as a management consultant at McKinsey & Co. and for Singer & Co. Phil was an expert in healthcare. At the time of his death, he headed the Wickenden Group, LLC, a virtual corporation comprising a healthcare consortium and a joint venture with Johns Hopkins.

Phil was a 20-year member of Alcoholics Anonymous and proud of it. He had open-heart surgery 10 years ago. Phil traveled throughout Europe, China, and New Zealand, and he had a getaway condo in St. Martin's, F.W.I. He was a man of many interests. As evidenced by the prestige sequence of Princeton, Wharton, and McKinsey, Phil had an outstanding business acumen and intellect and a high moral integrity, sense of humor, calm disposition, and grace. Although only married three and a half years, Phil and Lynn achieved a quality of marriage equaled by few.

Phil is survived by his wife, Lynn; his daughters from a previous marriage, Leigh McIntyre and Sandra Ewing; a stepson, Gregory Roberts; three granddaughters, Allison, Kelly, and Katie. To all of them, we send our sympathy.
