Caleb Loring III ’66 died on December 24, 2025, at the Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts. A history major at Dartmouth, he ran cross country, played freshman hockey, was a member of the DOC and Dragon, and served as president of Kappa Sigma. After graduation he worked briefly for the CIA in Washington, D.C., before returning to Hanover and graduating from Tuck in 1971. Caleb was employed by the Bank of Boston and became a vice president in the New England division. From 1982 on he led the Ayer family office, known then as Essex Street Associates, in Beverly, Massachusetts, overseeing the financial affairs of more than 100 people. Caleb contributed his time, talent, and treasure to many organizations, including the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, where he was a trustee for 39 years, and the YMCA of Greater Beverly, North Shore United Way, Federated Dorchester Neighborhood Houses, and Beverly Hospital Northeast Health System. Caleb also formed the North Shore Christian Businessmen’s Group and attended Bible studies throughout his adult life. Caleb played tennis and raced sailboats with family and friends. He would say his greatest pleasure was ballroom dancing with his wife, daughter, and granddaughters. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Bronwyn “Bonny;” children Caleb IV and Caitlyn; their spouses; six grandchildren; and siblings David ’68, Keith, and Rosemary.
