Tom, son of Richard Cleveland 1919 and grandson of President Grover Cleveland, died March 20, 2020, in Tamworth, N.H., his summer and retirement home. An Episcopal priest with a variety of experiences, notably missionary work in Alaska, he taught for 32 years at Milton Academy and then retired to Tamworth.

Tom came to Princeton from Milton Academy. He played varsity football and lacrosse all four years; he even blocked a kick in the historic 1946 upset of Penn. He majored in religion,  was a Chapel deacon, and belonged to Tiger Inn. In 1950 he married Charlotte Crocker, and they had four children, Tom Jr., John, Sarah, and Ellen.

After two years teaching at Governor Dummer Academy, Tom attended Virginia Theological Seminary and then spent many years in missionary work in Holicachuk, Palmer, and Tanana, Alaska, a part of his life he remembered fondly. He then joined the faculty at Milton Academy, where he taught religion and ethics courses. Among other significant events in his life, he officiated at the wedding of Tom Jr.

Tom is survived by his wife, Elaine; and his four children. We offer our profound and respectful sympathy to them all.
