Richard G. Stokinger ’60

Body

Rick Stokinger died Feb. 5, 1988. He prepared at Milton Academy where he had been a prefect and played on the football, wrestling, and baseball teams. At Princeton Rick continued his baseball interest and was assistant manager to the varsity team. He joined Court Club, roomed with Ron Long and Walt Fethke, and wrote his thesis for the history department.

Rick loved the outdoors. He and his wife, Susan, capped their around-the-world naval-discharge celebration with a canoe trip at his old camp in Temagami, Ontario. Rick and Susan (with a degree in history from Radcliffe) were highly regarded teachers on Boston's South Shore. Rick taught at Duxbury Middle School, and Susan at Hanover H.S.

The class regrets not seeing more of this quiet gentleman over the years and sends their deepest sympathy to his family: Susan, Mary Jane Caldwell Greeley, Holly A. Getch '82, Dr. Christopher C. Getch '84, and his parents Mr. and Mrs. Herbert G., now retired from Milton Academy, where they were faculty members.
