Richard A. Webster ’61

Dick died July 21, 2023, in Chicago, his home for the previous 33 years. He was 84. 

Dick was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., and came to us from St. Paul’s School. At Princeton, he majored in economics, was in the Outing Club, and took his meals at Key & Seal. He roomed with Bill Rough and Jim Palmer.

Dick went on to enjoy a long career in banking that took him from New York City to Hartford, Conn., and finally Chicago. He had a passion for history, gardening, bird-watching, and jigsaw puzzles. He enjoyed spending time in Ireland, where he was to be buried, and going for extensive walks throughout the varied neighborhoods of Chicago. But most of all, he loved spending time with his family. 

He is survived by his beloved wife, Brigid Maloney, whom he married in 1969; and their two children, Maeve and Richard.
