Richard Charles Larson ’48 *49

Body

Dick died Dec. 13, 2005, in Charlottesville, Va. He was 80.

A native of Brooklyn and graduate of Brooklyn Prep, Dick joined us in 1945 after a year in the Army. He graduated with highest honors in English and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He spent a year at the Graduate College studying economics.

His career in New York and Connecticut was in financial analysis and pension-fund investment. Dick retired in 1988 and moved to Charlottesville.

A loyal Princetonian, Dick attended major reunions and said that "attending Princeton was a most enriching experience in my life, shaping my intellectual confidence."

Dick is survived by Vivian, his wife of 39 years, and their son, Ed. The class extends its condolences.
