Henry Collin Stambaugh ’50

Hank Stambaugh died Jan. 23, 1992. Not much is known of his later years except that he lived in central Indiana and was last reported working with Logansport Machine in 1985.

Hank was born on June 8, 1928, in Pittsburgh, the son of Harry F. Stambaugh '02, the second oldest father of the 139 Princeton sons in our class. He arrived in 1946 with the large Exeter delegation, roomed with Bob Fowler and Bill Clarkson from his home town of Sewickley, Pa., became a member of Tiger Inn, and majored in the School of Public and International Affairs.

After Navy duty that took him from the Mediterranean to Korea, Hank graduated from the Harvard Business School in 1955. His career encompassed a variety of financial and marketing jobs, with emphasis on building sales forces and distributor networks. The companies he worked for included Corning, Imperial Eastman of Chicago, and several smaller firms. A heavy travel schedule precluded much community activity and pursuit of his early interest in golf, flying, and piano, though he did serve a term as president of local Toastmasters.

Hank never married. We are unaware of any surviving family members.
