Wynant died Feb. 19, 2018, at home in Palm Beach, Fla., after a lengthy struggle with cancer. A businessman and an eager athlete, he also lived in New York City and Keene Valley, N.Y., where his family roots go back centuries.

Born in Orange, N.J., Wynant went to St. Paul’s School, where for many years he held the half-mile record in track. He had to take a medical leave from Princeton for two years, entered our class as a sophomore, studied European civilization, and joined Ivy Club.

In 1968 he formed a design and communications firm that expanded into management consulting. In 1990 he became president of Lakeville Specialty Produce Co. in Washingtonville, Pa., a leading hydroponic grower of mache, a European salad green. The many not-for-profits he served included the Center for Inter-American Relations and the Frick Collection. He was an artist and an avid skier, tennis player, and golfer who took on every Adirondack course. In 2010 he published a novel, Enigma, the Grand Inquisitor Redux: A Literary Fable. On the occasion of our 25th reunion, Wynant reminded us, esto quod audes (you are what you dare).

The class sends its sympathies to his wife, Barrie; and sister, Madeleine Findlay.
