Allen McGill Daley ’50

Graduating from Andover in 1943, Allen entered the Army Signal Corps and was assigned to intercepting enemy communications in France. Leaving the Army in 1946, he entered Princeton, where he played freshman golf, was in the band, and belonged to Elm. After graduating with honors in chemical engineering, he began a 35-year career with DuPont that included a stint in Geneva, Switzerland. He retired in 1985.  

A longtime member of Christ Church Christiana Hundred in Greenville, Allen served on its vestry and various committees, and sang in the choir for 24 years. During his retirement, he spent hours overseeing the startup and operation of the church’s first computer. He was on many community boards including United Cerebral Palsy and the Delaware Symphony Orchestra.  

Allen enjoyed golf, tennis, and skiing, and never lost his great love for classical music.

Our sympathy goes to his sons, Allen Jr., Tom ’75, and Douglas; his daughter, Cornelia; their spouses; and five grandchildren.
