Walter Livingston Titus ’57

Walt died April 22, 2001, of a heart attack while playing chess. At Princeton he majored in English, joined Key and Seal, and roomed with Phil Torrance '58 in his senior year.

Upon graduating, Walt attended Columbia University's graduate school in English, and then pursued his lifelong career of teaching, first at the Gunnery School in Connecticut and then at Princeton Country Day School in New Jersey.

In 1964 he married Louise. Billy was born in 1965. They moved to Bayshore, N.Y., in 1968 where Walt taught until he retired in 1996.

Walt was born with spina bifida. At Princeton he used a three-wheeled bike to get around. For the last 25 years of his life he was confined to a wheelchair. This in no

way prevented his active life of teaching, sailing, woodcarving, and his many civic

boards, including the Nature Conservancy, Southside Hospital, Great South Bay Yacht Assn., South Shore Waterfowlers, Bayberry Yacht Club, and Seatuck Environmental Assn.

The class sends its sympathy to his widow, Louise, son Bill, brother Peter, and sister Marcia.
