Edward Zachary Schaye ’61

Zach died May 6, 2015, in his native New York City.

He prepared at Horace Mann School. At Princeton he majored in English and won the Wanamaker Prize. Zach ate at Wilson Lodge and was active in the band, Bridge Club, and Chess Club.

After graduation, Zach earned his medical degree, completed his residency in psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine, and embarked on a career in psychiatry, practicing for many years from his office on Central Park West. In our 40th yearbook he wrote, “Getting re-acquainted with Princeton with two kids there. A better place because of co-education and the college system for undergraduates.”

He is survived by his wife, Shirley; son Ben ’02; daughter Verity ’04; and grandchildren Arielle and Eli. Ben wrote of his father, “He was a tremendous person, one of the smartest, funniest, most patient, and loving I ever knew.”
