Stephen Thomas Case ’89

Body

Our class lost a beloved member and friend with Steve's death Feb. 18, 2004.

A generous, fun-loving, kind, and mature person who exemplified the best qualities of friendship, Steve lived, loved, and worked with intensity, dignity, and a wonderful and unique sense of humor.

At Princeton he was a resident adviser in Wilson College, a member of Campus Club, and an Outdoor Action leader; he graduated magna cum laude with a degree inarchitecture.

While pursuing a master's degree at Yale's School of Architecture, he met classmate Yvonne Galindo. After they married, Steve and Yvonne traveled to Finland, where Steve was a Fulbright Fellow studying architectural sculpture. He then completed an MBA at Cornell. In his career, Steve was a creative force, designing print- and Web-based projects. For the last two years, Steve was senior architecture editor at Rizzoli International Publications in New York City.

To honor Steve, a memorial fund has been established. Send contributions to: Stephen T. Case '89 Memorial Fund, Princeton University, c/o Nancy Kalmikoff, Gift Records, P.O. Box 5357, Princeton, NJ 08543-5357. Checks should be payable to the University and indicate "Stephen T. Case '89 Memorial Fund."

To Yvonne and family Reginald and Bonnie Case, Jennifer Case '95, Sarah and Len Wright and friends, the class sends deepest sympathy.
