Body

Dick died Dec. 26, 2025, in Charleston, S.C., surrounded by his family.

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Dick came to Princeton from Governor Dummer Academy. He majored in architecture and ate at Quadrangle, where he was an avid bridge player.

Dick married Anne Marshall (Smith ’66) and earned a master’s degree in architecture at Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1967. After two years in the Peace Corps in Tunisia, Dick started his architectural career at Kneedler Mirick Zantzinger in Philadelphia, becoming a partner in 1976. In 1981, he moved to CUH2A in Princeton, ultimately becoming president and CEO, leading the firm’s growth from 53 people in one office to 425 in five locations, including London.

Outside the office, Dick gave many hours to architectural review and planning boards in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He was devoted to Princeton, chairing our 30th reunion and serving on Quadrangle’s Graduate Board. Dick spent many hours behind the camera lens, passionately pursuing beautiful shots of Lowcountry birds and nature. Most importantly, he was a constant support to his children and grandchildren, attending sporting events and performances.

Dick is survived by his wife of 59 years, Anne; daughters Megan ’91 and Marion ’95; son John; four grandchildren; and his brother John and wife Kate. The class extends its deepest sympathy to his family.
