Terry A. Johnston ’61

We lost Terry April 26, 2007, after a long battle with leukemia. He had lived in Margate, N.J., since 1972.

Born in Plainfield, he came to Princeton from the Pingry School. At Princeton he majored in biology, ate at Quad, worked at the ticket agency, and was on the Princeton Tiger staff. Following medical school at Tufts, he served in the Navy and then embarked on a distinguished career in radiology, chiefly with the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center and as a partner of Atlantic Medical Imaging. In 1994 he was named a fellow of the American College of Radiology, an honor granted to very few. These brief words do not begin to describe his service to his profession.

Terry was similarly committed to Princeton — active in Annual Giving, class events and activities, the Schools Committee, and more — so much so that, as he wished, he was cremated in his Reunions outfit. Terry had many interests and hobbies (investing in Broadway and off-Broadway musicals, for example) and, as daughter Jenny ’94 said in her eulogy, “a host of idiosyncrasies that charmed those around him.”

He is survived by Dot, his wife of 42 years, and two children, Terry Jr. and Jenny, to whom we send our sympathies.
