Carl Litt ’53 died Nov. 24, 2020, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He was 90.

Carl majored in business administration and was active in Tau Kappa Epsilon at Illinois Wesleyan. He was a U.S. Navy veteran who served during the Korean War and was stationed in Seattle. Upon learning that he had worked part-time at a clothing and shoe store during his time at IWU, Carl’s Naval recruiter assigned him the job of buying and delivering clothing and footwear to sailors. After the war, he worked in menswear as a manufacturing representative, eventually becoming president of the Men’s & Boys Wear Trade Group of Illinois. Carl met his wife, who was working at a clothing store in Wilmette, Illinois, and together they raised four children. Carl was very proud of his offices in Chicago’s Merchandise Mart and the many friends and acquaintances he made there. He was an avid golfer, youth basketball coach, and a fan of the Chicago Bears and Duke University men’s basketball team. He served as president of the Mills Investors Club of Oak Park, Illinois, and a member of the Golf Collectors Society. He is survived by four children and four grandchildren.
