Lewis Edward Cook III ’01
01 year ago
LEWIS EDWARD COOK III ’01 Lewis died tragically March 6, 2011 after being struck by a drunk driver as he walked to his hotel in Vail, CO. He was 32.
Lewis came to Princeton from San Francisco, where he was a four-time high school All-American swimmer. While at Princeton, Lewis majored in economics, graduating with honors. He played on the varsity water polo team and was a member of the Cap and Gown Club.
After graduation, Lewis worked for the John Lewis Company in Austin, Texas and then earned his MBA at Duke University Business School. He was recognized as a Duke Scholar in 2007. Lewis returned to Austin, working at Simmons Vedder in acquisitions before starting his own real estate investment company last year. He was active in the Real Estate Council of Austin, Urban Land Institute, and Young Men’s Business League.
Lewis had a big heart and was generous with his time, valued his friends, loved his family. His innate curiosity and quest to know spurred him to travel the world extensively with classmates and family. He was a rock for all of them.
The class extends its deepest sympathy to his parents, Lewis and Susan Cook; his sister, Alison Cook; and his extended family. We join them in mourning his tragic loss.
Connor O’Gorman ’01

Dear Class of 2001 -
It is with deep sadness that I wish to inform you of the passing of our fellow friend and Classmate, Connor O’Gorman ’01 (Richard Connor O’Gorman), who died in a fatal accident in New York City this past Sunday, April 5.
Hailing from the Atlanta, GA area, Connor attended high school at the Singapore American School in Singapore. He came to Princeton with a dream of playing on the University’s varsity baseball team – a dream which he realized all four of his undergraduate years. Connor graduated with high honors with an ORFE degree, and also received certificates in the Program in Finance, the Program in Applications of Computing and the Program in Engineering and Management Systems. Connor participated in Outdoor Action, was a member of Butler College during his freshman and sophomore years on campus, and was a member of the University Cottage Club.
A memorial service and reception will be held at Briarcliff United Methodist Church, 4105 Briarcliff Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30345, this Friday, April 10 at 2PM. There will also be an informal gathering for family and friends at the O’Gorman home, 2611 Varner Drive NE, Atlanta GA 30345, on Thursday, April 9 at 6PM. Those interested in attending the services may find a list of area hotels at the bottom of this email.
A tribute Web site has been established to share thoughts, memories, and prayers at http://www.respectance.com/Richard_Connor_OGorman/ and I also invite you to read a truly moving memorial to Connor by Princeton Varsity Baseball Head Coach, Scott Bradley, on the University’s Athletics Web site
Connor lived everyday to the fullest. His character was pure, his determination unwavering, and his love for family and friends was limitless. He lit up every room with his goofy laugh and bright smile – that will always be etched in the minds of those who were fortunate to know him.
A memorial tribute in the PAW and on the Class Web site are forthcoming.
The Class extends to family and friends of Connor our deepest sympathy and condolences.
Sincerely,
Jessica Walter ’01
