Henry Fayette Sill ’53

Henry was born in Detroit, Mich., and came to Princeton from Jackson High School in Jackson, Mich., with every intention of becoming a doctor. He majored in biology and wrote his thesis on “Antigens of the Red Cell Membrane.” After two years of medical school, however, Henry spent a year as a public school teacher and then transferred to the University of Arizona Law School in Tucson, where he earned a law degree in 1961.

Settling in Arizona, Henry began the private practice of law in Tucson, but served also as a prosecuting attorney and as a city and county judge. He was active in several churches, serving as an organist and choir director.

Henry died April 28, 2020, in Scottsdale, Ariz. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Maxine; one daughter; two sons; and seven grandchildren.
