A friend described Rhett as a friendly, kind, fun-loving family man, and the description was apt. This engaging gentleman died July 13, 2019.

Born in Mineola, N.Y., Rhett attended Exeter Academy before coming to Princeton. He selected economics as his major and joined Charter Club. With many friends at Princeton, he left at the end of sophomore year to enlist and proudly serve in the Marine Corps. Following his tour with the Marines, he embarked on a long and rewarding career with the Aviation Administration in the Maryland Department of Transportation, and settled with his wife, Carolyn, in Sparks, Md., later moving to the Broadmead Retirement Community.

He loved his dogs Murphy and Buddy and his past dogs Tippi, Bridey, Bellie, Jubi, Jasper, and RB. Rhett is survived by his wife, Carolyn; sons Keith and Jim; daughter Mimi and her husband Rob; sister Judy and her husband Robert; and several nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his sister Sally.
