Richard W. Sutphen ’40

Dick died Apr. 7, 2002. Most of his post-Princeton years were happily spent in the Westport, Conn., area.

An Eagle Scout, he prepared at Phillips Exeter Academy, then entered Princeton, as had his stepfather, Harold A. Sutphen '20, and as would his brothers, Fred '42 and Harold '48.

At Princeton, Dick was on the freshman lacrosse team. He left in his sophomore year to become affiliated with Continental Grain Co.; later, he was business manager of Diamond Match Co. Most of his business career saw him commuting to NYC as business manager of Boydon Assn., an international research firm for executive talent.

Dick's long-term sense of community service included serving as president of the Westport YMCA, trustee of the Congregational Church, director of the Red Cross Chapter, and executive director of the Westport-Weston United Fund.

After his first wife Elizabeth Shaumbaugh died in 1975, he married Love Hogan, bringing two stepchildren into the family. In recent years, after he retired, he and Love moved to the home they built near Chapel Hill, N.C., and then to Pittsboro, N.C.

To his family — son Richard Jr. and daughter Joanne; stepdaughter Sharon Hogan and stepson Thomas Hogan — his classmates extend their sincere condolences.
