He came to Princeton from Punahou School in Honolulu, where he was vice president of the student body, ran track, and was active in the student assembly. At Princeton, Tim majored in politics, dined at Colonial, was active in the Air Force ROTC and the Outing and Hawaiian clubs, and enjoyed swimming, tennis, riding, and skiing. He roomed with Gil Curtis, Dick Freese, Chuck Pearson, and John Weingartner.
In 1963, following three years in the USAF Strategic Command, he returned to Hawaii and married a friend from childhood, Sharon Rice, in Honolulu. He earned an MBA at the University of Hawaii and settled in Kilauea on the “garden” island of Kauai with his two sons. There he developed the Kong Lung Historic Market Center in Kilauea, merging the town’s plantation-era surroundings with chic, contemporary boutiques, a bakery and coffee shop, jewelry stores, restaurants, market, and the center’s award-winning historic photo retrospective.
The class extends its sympathies to Tim’s survivors: his sons, Toby and Peter; two grandchildren Braydon and Hobey; his sister, Cynthia; and a niece, Priscilla.
