Roger H. Lichty ’67

Body

Our dear friend Roger Lichty died Oct. 6, 2000, of complications from a heart attack.

At Princeton, Roger established solid, long-lasting friendships with his classmates and roommates. He was a member of Tower Club and was a drummer in the band. His academic interests included English literature, in which he graduated cum laude and, more particularly, E. M. Forster, on whom he wrote his senior thesis.

Roger had a great sense of humor, and you could always count on a new joke or two every time you spoke to him. Roger was fiercely loyal to his wife, LeeLee, his children, his sister, his friends, his faith, and to Princeton. He worked tirelessly on the schools committee and fundraising.

Roger held a law degree (U. of Colorado) and an MBA (Denver U.) and spent most of his career as a central counsel in the independent oil and gas business.

Roger was a loyal and true-blue friend, and we will miss him greatly. The class wishes to express its deepest sympathy to Roger's wife, LeeLee, his four daughters, Beth, Kallie, LaLa, and VeeVee, and to Roger's sister, Priscilla.
