Ronald L. Katsky ’60

Ron died Nov. 20, 2017, of a sudden attack of septic infection after an otherwise healthy and very active life.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, at Princeton Ron joined Quadrangle and wrote for The Daily Princetonian.

He returned to Los Angeles to attend law school at UCLA. He went on to a 50-year practice of law, most recently as managing partner of Katsky & Lyon in corporate practice.

He was always active in numerous professional and civic pursuits. He was especially devoted to the social work of the Catholic Church, which recognized him with knighthoods in the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre and the Order of Malta, and with the Church’s highest lay recognition, the Pro Ecclesiam Et Pontifice, of all of which he was proud but very self-effacing.

He was a great traveler, seeking out every corner of the world regardless of comfort or safety. His participation in our Cuba mini-reunion in 2012 rekindled his interest in class affairs and led him to organize our highly successful Los Angeles mini in 2013 and to attend the recent Berkshire mini shortly before his untimely death.

Ron is survived by his sister, daughter, grandchildren, and his partner of almost 20 years, Marvin Acosta.
