Frank Conrad Nagel Jr. ’41

Frank died of a heart attack Sept. 4, 2001, while driving home to Malibu, Calif., after a trip East that began with our 60th reunion.

He entered Princeton from Glen Ridge, N.J. Majoring in chemistry as a U. Scholar, Frank was a member of Cannon.

After graduation, Frank joined Merck before he entered the Navy as an ensign. He served on a minesweeper in the Pacific until discharged for medical reasons.

He then joined Union Oil Co. in LA, subsequently moving to TRW and then American Potash (now Kerr McGee). He finally retired in 1995 after 24 years with the LA Superior Courts.

Frank and his wife, Pat, traveled extensively, staying on some 40 small islands around the world. At his death he still had his 1941 Lincoln Zephyr in his garage.

Predeceased by Pat, his wife of 55 years, he is survived by his sister, Connie Sawdey, three nieces, one nephew, and eight grandnieces and nephews.
