Chauncey C. Kennedy Jr. ’49

Chan died Feb. 22, 2014, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. He was 86.

A native of Buffalo, N.Y., Chan came to Princeton from Phillips Exeter Academy. He left campus after his freshman year and returned home, where he eventually graduated from the University of Buffalo. From 1952 to 1955, he was in the Naval Aviation Corps, after which he joined the training program at Marine Midland Bank in Buffalo. He became an assistant vice president in 1962, a vice president in 1965, manager of the national department of the bank in 1970, and eventually became vice president in charge of purchasing, a position from which he retired in the late 1970s.

After his retirement, Chan moved to Hilton Head, S.C., and then to Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. He continued to spend time in Buffalo each summer, but we have little knowledge of his retirement years.

At the time of his death, he was survived by his wife, Pam; his children, Michael Kennedy, Lucie Desautels, Kim Cardwell, Sharon Kennedy, and Lissa Workman; 10 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. We extend our deepest sympathies to his extended family.
