Philip S. Allen ’62

Phil died peacefully April 10, 2018, at home in Vero Beach, Fla., after a prolonged battle with throat cancer.

Phil came to us from Manhasset (N.Y.) High School. At Princeton he was a member of Cannon Club. Phil was known for many things, but especially for lacrosse. He starred on undefeated Ivy championship teams and was captain and MVP in our senior year. He was All-Ivy for three seasons, and All American in his senior year.

Phil’s career was primarily as an international banker, with several large firms, lastly as senior vice president-wealth management with Morgan Stanley in Florida.

Phil’s senior-year roommates were Scott Brooks and Gardiner Dodd. He kept in touch with friends from Princeton and lacrosse, loved by them for his zest and good humor that shine through his wonderful photo in our 50th-reunion book. He continued to have a love of life despite what he called his “hardest emotional challenge,” the tragic death of daughter Dana in a car accident in 1990.

Phil is survived by his brother, John; sister-in-law Connie; daughters Elizabeth and Kristen; five grandchildren; and his partner, Sybille Ludwig, who became the love of his life. The class extends its deepest sympathies to them all.
