Richard Howell Furman ’59

DICK DIED unexpectedly of an embolism in New Canaan, Conn., Dec. 10, 1990.

Dick came to Princeton from the Darrow School in New Lebanon, N.Y. Dick majored in geology and was a member of Colonial Club.

After graduation Dick served in the Army for six months, then returned to Princeton to work on the "153 Million for Princeton" campaign. From there he moved into the financial world, first taking a position with Manufacturers Hanover Bank, and then moving to G.E. Credit Corp. in Stamford, Conn. He subsequently assumed the presidency of Franklin Commercial Corp. in Somerset, NJ., served as manager of E.F. Hutton Credit Corp.'s Greenwich office, and later returned to Stamford with Chrysler Capital, where he had recently been promoted to V.P.

Dick married Patty Herron and they raised two wonderful children; son Nathaniel and daughter Margo. They all survive, as does Dick's sister, Carol F. Kirkwood.

Dick's Princeton experience was very dear to him, and he enjoyed attending reunions and other Class and University functions, usually with Patty at his side. Those of us privileged to have shared the past years with Dick will sorely miss his charm and wit. The Class extends its deepest sympathy to Patty and his family.
