Elliott Harrison ’74

Body

Like too many of us, perhaps, we fall out of touch with roommates and friends from Princeton, and found out unexpectedly last Christmas that our classmate Elliott Harrison died Feb. 6, 2005, after a long battle with multiple sclerosis.

Randy Riley and Stu Francis, his senior-year roommates, have many wonderful memories of Elliott. He was fun-loving, positive, and always willing to lend a helping hand.

Elliot hailed from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and lived most of his adult life in Holliston and Worcester, Mass. He was a member of Quadrangle Club and had many friends and good times there. After Princeton, Elliott earned a law degree from Boston University, where he served as leader of the moot court program. In his professional life, Elliott was associate general counsel for Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachusetts and served on many boards, including that of the Boston Ballet and the Princeton Alumni Association of New England. Elliot was a mentor to many students and an advocate of Princeton's spirit of giving back! He will be missed greatly.

Elliott leaves his wife of 27 years, Renee Freedman Harrison; his children, Jayme and Dana; his mother, Evelyn Brown; and a sister, Stephanie Brown.
