Harold MacKay Cashmore ’46

Body

Mac died Dec. 5, 2005, in Virginia Beach, Va.

He joined the class from the Pingry School in September 1942. An engineer, he served in the Navy from 1943 to 1946 as an aerographer (weatherman) with duty in the South Pacific and Brazil.

After his graduation in 1950, Mac married Dorothy Short, fathered two sons and a daughter, and worked in the truck divisions of Ford, Chrysler, and Mack Trucks. He owned his own business, MacKay Associates Consulting, before retiring.

He is survived by his children, Scott, Victoria, and James, and four grandchildren. To them, the class extends its deep sympathy.
