F. Frederick Kennedy Jr. ’64

Body

Fred died of a heart attack in his hometown of Augusta, Ga., on Dec. 2, 2000. He was 57.

Born in Augusta, Fred was a graduate of the Darlington School in Rome, Ga. At the time of his death, he was serving as chairman of Darlington's board of trustees.

Fred attended Washington & Lee U. for a year, then transferred to Princeton, where he majored in economics and joined Key & Seal. An Army ROTC cadet, he was commissioned at graduation and fought during the Vietnam War, rising to the rank of captain. He was the recipient of a Bronze Star.

Fred graduated from Harvard Law School, practiced in Augusta, and then founded CSRA Cablevision and Kennedy Broadcasting, which operated a local radio station. He was always active in his community, especially in the Boys and Girls Clubs of Georgia. He was also president of the Southern Cable Television Assn.

It was always fun to see Fred and Jackie at Reunions and at one of our first 1964 mini-reunions in Williamsburg. To Jackie and their sons, Frederick and Andrew, the class extends its condolences on the passing of a devoted husband and father, a generous civic leader, and a devoted Princetonian.
