Richard Livingston Davies ’42

Dick died Dec. 3, 2002, of pancreatic cancer in Hillsboro Beach, Fla. After a career in engineering design, he retired to Florida with his wife, Caryl. She predeceased him.

Dick attended Choate School, and at Princeton, majored in mechanical engineering and was a member of Court Club. Although he had earned a commission in the Naval Reserve in our junior year, he was permitted to graduate before his assignment to active duty. His responsibilities included supervision of ship repair and construction in the European theater. Dick was honorably discharged as a lieutenant.

Most of Dick's professional life was with Long Island Lighting Co., where he engaged in design and installation of major components of its power plant. He retired in 1978 as project manager.

Dick loved the sea and playing golf. To Dick's daughters, Linda Wood Consolla and Joan Livingston Jefferys, and to his grandchildren, Ian and Sarah, the class expresses its deepest condolences.
