Albert Boyd Sharp ’39

Al died Jan. 19, 1995, in Sarasota, Fla., where he and wife Mary had lived for nine years, after he retired from a lifetime law practice in Haddonfield, N.J. Except for nearly five years of WWII service in the U.S., Africa, and Italy in the armored cavalry, during which he rose from private to captain, he spent all his working life in Haddonfield. In addition to his private practice, he was mayor and borough solicitor for 20 years, while also serving regularly on various civic and philanthropic boards.

Al's first wife, Eloise Lejeune, died in 1970. They had four children: Marc Boyd, Anne Adele, Aven (named for Al's roommate Ave Whittington), and Edward Melville. Al's marriage to Mary Kelly in 1971 brought him a stepson and stepdaughter. All survive, as do five grandchildren and five step-grandchildren. To Mary and his extended family, we offer our sincere sympathy.
