Thomas D. Wellington ’44

Tom died on July 19, 2000, in Princeton, where he lived. A memorial service for him was held in the University Chapel.

He prepared at St. Mark's School. He enlisted in the Army in 1942 and served three years with the military government in Germany. He returned to Princeton for his degree, and then went on to New York U. for law school and practiced law in NYC.

In 1970 Tom married the former spouse of Jack Myers '44, Peggy Frantz, and together they set out to raise their combined eight children. A year later her father, Samuel Frantz '18, died while owning a company that manufactured magnetic separation instruments for laboratories. Rather than sell the business, Tom took over its management, and successfully developed three significant patents.

Tom was a tennis fan and player, an artist, and a voracious reader.

To his wife, three daughters, son, stepchildren, and five grandchildren, his classmates extend their sincere condolences.
