William A. McMillan  ’60

Genial, popular, and lively, Bill was a prominent personality in the class throughout our 60 years together. He came to Princeton from Lower Merion Township (Pa.) High School and died Feb. 18, 2017, in nearby Bala Cynwyd, Pa., his home for many years. He died of complications of a serious fall shortly before.

Bill was the son of Edward Sr. ’26 and brother of Edward Jr. “Reds” ’57. A lifelong sports enthusiast, Bill transitioned gradually from participant to spectator. At Princeton, he played freshman football and varsity baseball. His football career was terminated by a serious injury in our sophomore year. In recent years he faithfully followed the Phillies and attended football games at Princeton. He was our sophomore class treasurer and joined Ivy, where he was later elected president and roomed with Dick Baruch. His reunion jacket, altered with a substantial gusset for better posterior fit, was universally admired.

Bill spent his career in the securities business, for many years at Merrill Lynch and Salomon Brothers, and later at Provident National Bank and affiliates. Bill leaves his wife of 50 years, Peggy, two sons, and three grandchildren. We mourn his loss.
