John Kelly Henry Shannahan IV ’34

Jack died July 2, 2002, after years of failing health. Since his retirement after 41 years in the electric utility business, he lived in the Leelanau County peninsula in Michigan, famed for its breathtaking views of Lake Michigan and miles of cherry orchards.

Jack was active in marketing activities at utilities in Indiana, Michigan, and Kansas, and served as president of the Electric Energy Assn. and senior vice president of the Edison Electric Institute. In Lake Leelanau he was a trustee of the Suttons Bay Congregational Church and director and treasurer of the Leelanau Christian Neighbors.

In 1939, Jack married Mary Reynolds Kline (Wellesley '35), who died in 1995. Surviving are his two sons, John V and James; a daughter, Jennifer S. Koerner; four grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and a sister, Mrs. Colegate O. McShane. To them we offer our sincere sympathy.
