William C. Cummings III ’66

Body

Will died Aug. 1, 2022, of injuries suffered in a biking accident in Madison, Wis.

A native of Janesville, Wis., Will came to Princeton from Andover, where he was all-club in lacrosse and soccer. His Princeton roommates included Jim Holman and Mike Witte. 

He withdrew from Princeton during sophomore year and served in the Army from 1965 to 1967, earning a National Defense Service Medal. 

Alumni records show his most recent residence as Waunakee, Wis. He had his own computer consulting business, Accessible Computing, in Verona, Wis., as well as a honeybee operation, involving the raising and care of honeybees and sale of honey.

Will is survived by Christina Gates, Steve Cummings, Anne Fredrich, a niece, and three nephews, to all of whom the class extends its condolences.
