Putney Westerfield

There are so many memories I don´t know where to start with! My husband more than once told me" Putney is my best friend, I may not be his best friend!" When Putney heard me telling him this, he chuckled and " Said of course he is mine as well." When I passed this news back to Jack, he said " I hope so, but I have not done any thing for him! "

Sending lots of love to the whole family. His daughter Clare, her husband Jim and their children Katie and Taylor are lifelong friends of our family. We have always loved hearing stories of what an amazing man he was. May God bless the family during this time.

Putney was a giant in the executive search field and will be long remembered as a consummate professional. Tim McNamara, former Managing Director, Boyden; Partner & Vice Chair, Odgers Berndtson.

I met Putney in 1979 when he was with Boyne. He had such a singular dignity and a timeless bon vivant spirit. I was as impressed with him as can be. I suppose he liked me too, as he recruited me to an Ivy League led firm on Sandhill Road in Menlo Park. Through this act, Putney, more than any other individual, changed my life forever and for the better. In turn, this compounded out ... to allow me to help many others on their own career paths. Point is, his positive influence multiplied in...

Amazing man with an amazing family. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

This was an uncommonly good man of faith and vision who had such warmth, depth and breadth; it was an honor to know and to be his pastor for so many years. I won't be surprised if part of the music we hear from heaven is Putney playing the great hymns of the faith on some celestial piano, and encouraging us to join in a sing-along!
