Frederick Stephen Larned ’62

Steve died Nov. 22, 2024, in Scarborough, Maine.

He came to us from Phillips Academy, where he was an All-American swimmer. He left Princeton in 1960, continued his education at the University of Michigan, and earned his medical degree at Wayne State University. In 1962, he married Mary Jo “MJ” Bailey, and they had three children. In the early ’70s he served in the Navy in Washington, D.C. The family moved to Portland, Maine, in 1972.

As an internal medicine specialist, Steve launched a private practice and began a 45-year affiliation with the Maine Medical Center. Over the years he also developed affiliations with several universities and the Association of American Medical Colleges. In retirement he counseled academic medical institutions on long-range planning.

In 1991, Steve married Polly Rogers Hefferan after their first marriages had ended in divorce. In addition to their blended family, they shared a passion for community and health care and contributed their talents to Konbit Sante, an organization building health-care infrastructure and care-provision skills in Haiti.

Steve is survived by Polly; his three children and their mother; and seven grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy to all.
