[node:field-image-collection:0:render]Beans died April 5, 2017, of lung cancer in Springfield, Mass., one day short of his 81st birthday.

He was a graduate of Mamaroneck (N.Y.) High School. His father, Willem, was in the Class of 1927. Beans left Princeton after the first term of our freshman year. According to Jim Nesbitt, who roomed with him in Witherspoon, Beans was a great guy and fun to be around.

He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. Beans and Monica Jarnmark were married Nov. 25, 1961.

He began his business career as a retail and commercial space planner and interior designer. He worked for the JC Moag Corp. of Jacksonville, Ind., a glass-fabrication and tempering company, and also for Norwood Oliver Design Associates of New Jersey, an interior-design company, before starting his own company, Barnouw Design Associates.

Beans had many interests. He liked to ski and hunt as well as cook and travel. He was a lifelong fan of the New York Giants and the New York Mets.

He is survived by Monica; son Peter and his wife, Margaret; son Thomas and his wife, Amy; daughter Tracy Schneider and her husband, Carl; grandchildren Maja, Hayden, Grace, Ava, Amanda, Willem, and Meg; and his sister, Brenda Kane. To them all the class extends its sympathy.
