Body

Richard died Nov. 3, 2022. He was 71. 

He came to Princeton with the Class of 1973 from Milwaukee, Wis., where he was a graduate of Marquette University High School. Remembered for his quietly dignified demeanor, he earned a degree in psychology with us and remained a member of the Class of 1975. 

Richard spent his career in human resources until his retirement. He was the son of the late Dolores E. and Frank J. Holton Jr. He is survived by his sisters, Marian and her husband Edward Manuel, Martha and her husband James Dimick, Eve Holton, Claire and her husband Terry Zenner, Catherine and her husband Donald Shipley, and Christine Holton; brothers Douglas and his wife Josephine, and Daniel and his wife Lynne; and other relatives and friends. We share in their sadness at his passing.
