Gerald W. O’Neill ’61

Jerry died Dec. 14, 2016, in West Chester, Pa. A son of a member of the Class of 1920, he was born in Bronxville, N.Y., and prepared for Princeton at Garden City High School in New York.

At Princeton he majored in aeronautical engineering, was active in the Glee Club and the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences, and took his meals at Terrace Club. His senior-year roommates were Steve Roberts, John Bright, and John Douw.

We know little of Jerry’s life after Princeton, except that he served in the Navy and worked at various times for Grumman, Shell Oil, BP, and Amoco as an engineer.

He is survived by his partner, Barbara K. Scott, a retired speech therapist.
