Richard M. Haverland ’63

Dick died Dec. 9, 2023, at home in Little Compton, R.I., of lymphoma. He was a ’63 stalwart and president from 2003-08 who had a successful career in insurance.

Born in Brooklyn, Dick graduated from Chaminade High School on Long Island. At Princeton, he majored in history, was on the golf team and the cheerleading squad, and ate at Tower.

After a Stanford MBA, Dick became a financial analyst, then joined Progressive Insurance in Ohio, rising in 14 years to president. He later was a senior executive at American Financial Group, Continental Corp., and Highlands Insurance. As a retiree, Dick served on boards and for eight years as an elected councilman in Indian River Shores, Fla. He also became a Life Master in bridge.

He flourished in sports for a lifetime, right up until his diagnosis months before our 60th: three-time national champion in platform tennis in the senior category; winner of golf tournaments in USSGA Seniors and at many clubs, carding a 70 in 2022; and runner-up in the 75-plus division in the Summer National Pickleball Games at age 81.

Dick is survived by his wife of 58 years, Rosemary; daughters Julia, Lucy ’94, and Laura; eight grandchildren; and siblings Jim, Bill, and Patricia.
