Richard W. Killough ’48

Dick died Dec. 8, 2015.

He was born Dec. 26, 1926, and grew up in Elizabeth, N.J. During his grade-school years, he and future Princeton classmate Charlton Price were together for several summers at a YMCA camp in Sussex County, N.J. A decade later, on the Princeton campus, Dick was in the Navy V-12 program and graduated in 1948.

In his business career as a producer and manager of classical music recordings at Columbia Records, Dick worked with famed artists including Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, and Vladimir Horowitz. In our class’s 25th-reunion book, Dick mentioned that he often got out of New York City on the weekends for river canoeing and cross-country skiing.

Later in life, he joined Princeton classmates Paul Loser, Everard Pinneo, and Henry Martin at Pennswood Village in Newtown, Pa.
