Paul I. Munves ’69

The class notes with sadness the March 18, 2016, death of Paul Munves after a brief illness.

A native of Dallas, Paul graduated from St. Mark’s School there, and after Princeton received a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the psychiatry department at the University of Texas Southwestern. He was a respected clinician admired for his intellectual commitment and his strength of conviction. The Dallas Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology was founded through his leadership to enable psychologists interested in studying psychoanalytical principles to apply them to their practices.

After retiring early, he focused on his family with unfailing devotion and loyalty. They provided his greatest pleasure. He and his wife, Phyllis, shared good days and good years with their much-loved children and grandchildren.

The wide-ranging curiosity that energized his life was reflected most recently by his determination, successfully accomplished, to teach himself to build a computer.

In addition to Phyllis, he is survived by his daughters, Stephanie, Rebecca, and Jennifer; son Michael; four grandchildren; his brother, Sol; and sister Deborah. We mourn his death but celebrate a life well lived and well loved.
