Frank E. Sagendorph IV ’64

Sag died March 17, 2014, after a brief struggle with cancer. He was 71.

He grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs and attended both Episcopal Academy and St. George’s before coming to Princeton. Sag majored in mechanical engineering, served two years as vice president of the Student Chapter of Mechanical Engineers, and joined Campus Club. He attended graduate school at MIT and earned a Ph.D. at the University of Kentucky.

He joined the General Electric jet-engine division in Cincinnati, served as a group leader, and retired in 1997. Thereafter, he and his wife, Jude, whom he married in 1978, lived on Hilton Head Island and in Asheville, N.C.

Sag enjoyed tennis, squash, and golf at Merion Golf Club, but his consistent passion was trout fishing. He was never happier than when he landed a rainbow trout with one of his own flies. Sag was also the stable center for a wide circle of friends, and his homes were often the default location for gatherings. His many pals will miss Sag, but fortunately he made it easy to recall the many great times they spent together.

To Jude, the class extends sincere condolences on behalf of Sag’s many friends.
