Philip Livingston Azoy ’45

Phil died March 29, 2004, at his home in Chatham, N.J., after a long illness.

He entered Princeton from Columbia High, the son of Anatasio Azoy '14, and the third of five Azoys to graduate from Princeton. Phil joined Terrace Club and was active in several religious groups. His education was interrupted by service as a military intelligence officer in the European theater. He also spent more than two decades as a member of the Army Reserve.

Returning to Princeton, he received a degree in politics in 1948 and entered training in trust management at National City Bank in New York City. Phil received an MBA from New York University in 1957 and a degree from the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers in 1963. He then joined Irving Trust Co. as a trust officer, later becoming a vice president.

In 1950 Phil married his childhood friend, Elizabeth Fowler, a financial reporter for the New York Times for many years. After retirement from Irving Trust, he worked for the Army at Picatinny Arsenal and as business manager of the St. Andrew's Society, one of the oldest charitable organizations in New York state. In addition to Libbie, Phil is survived by his daughters, Katrina Azoy and Cynthia Rooke, and one grandson. The class expresses its sympathy to the family.
