This page has been updated with all the entries from the 30th and 35th reunion books, where there were separate sections with the obituaries of all class members who had died since the previous reunion book was published. The 25th reunion book did not have such a section, and the individual obituaries will have to be added gradually.
As each issue of Harvard Magazine has come out, we have tried to add new obituaries, but we have certainly missed some. We would appreciate receiving from classmates the text of any that we are missing. We would also appreciate help with typing in the information from the 25th reunion book. If you are ready to volunteer, please contact the .
The first section below contains an index to all the names of deceased classmates. When a full-text obituary is included on this page, the name will be a link to that text in the second section.

That rare commodity the nine letterman, he attained, moreover, All-America recognition in soccer, squash and lacrosse. Medicine was to be his calling, although his family has earned its high reputation primarily in the law, which would have suited him equally well. His probing, energetic, skeptical mind produced, among other achievements, a string of grades in his pre-medical courses which only once dipped so low as A-. He had a passion for sky-diving, and he learned to fly so well while in college that he had an instructor's license by graduation. He also made hosts of friends who, after his death at Trinity College, Cambridge, in the winter of 1965, established a soccer trophy and inscribed it to the memory of 'so beloved a product of his college and his time.' It is tempting to conclude that he would have been a giant of medicine, although many exacting and unpredictable tests lay ahead.
