Richard D. Marquis ’71

Rick died Oct. 16, 2002, of a brain tumor. He came to Princeton from Thayer Academy, played freshman baseball, and majored in politics. He roomed all four years with Ron Senchesak and Rick Bowe, though his friends were drawn from wide and disparate groups.

While at Princeton he met his future wife, Carol Clayton. They remained in love for 26 years and had a son, Richard, and a daughter, Lauren. Rick loved being a dad, and the camping trips the family took throughout the West when the kids were younger were the favorite times of his life.

Rick earned his MBA from Boston U. and also attended school at York U. in Toronto. In 1979, he and Carol moved to Wilmington, Mass., where he was a general manager at H.P. Hood, a large regional dairy producer. For his final five years, Rick was a partner in Manchester Creamery.

In addition to Carol and his children, Rick is survived by his mother, Erma Marquis. His classmates offer them sincere condolences.
