Francis P. Kennedy ’54

Pat died Aug. 19, 2016. He came to Princeton from the Deerfield School, where he played football, basketball, and tennis. At Princeton he was a member of Charter Club and majored in civil engineering with the goal — stated in the 1954 Nassau Herald — of becoming a construction engineer.

After three years in the Army, he earned a master’s degree in civil engineering at Stanford with a focus on construction management in 1959. Shortly thereafter he met and married Elizabeth “Liz” Ridge and joined Kaiser Engineers. There he was engaged in construction management until 1994, when he joined a management, design, and technology firm, retiring in 1998.

Pat is survived by his wife, Liz; two children; and four grandchildren.
