Thomas D. Wellington ’44

Tom Wellington died in Princeton, where he lived, on July 19, 2000.

He prepared at St. Mark's School. He enlisted in the army in 1942 and served three years with Military Government for Germany. He returned to Princeton for his degree and then went on to NYU for law school before practicing in New York.

In 1970, Tom married the former spouse of Jack Myers '44, Peggy Frantz, and they set out to raise their combined eight children. A year later, her father, Samuel Frantz '18, died owning a company which 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 player and fan, an artist, and a voracious reader.

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