Richard Steven Motley ’68
Dick Motley died June 4, 1994, at the family home in Tulsa, Okla., of respiratory arrest brought on by pneumonia. He was 47 and an architect.
Dick was born in Detroit and came to Princeton from Edison H.S. in Tulsa. He majored in architecture and was a member of the Nassoons and Charter Club. He was predeceased by both his parents which had greatly saddened him. Dick never married. Both before and after his parents' deaths, Dick took care of his only sibling, his younger sister Ruth Ann, who suffers from MS and to whom Dick was devoted. He enjoyed travel, having been to both Europe and the Far East.
Belatedly, the class sends its most sincere sympathy to Ruth Ann.

I was the Class of ’69, a friend of Mots, a fellow architecture student and Nassoon. He was beloved by his fellow Nassoons — a great baritone that could blend perfectly, a quirky and entertaining travel mate (we drove all over the East Coast giving concerts) with a dry sense of humor. All of us miss him a lot as we gather now to sing.
