Henry Hayward Dinneen ’35

Hayward died at home in Vero Beach, Fla., on Oct. 23, 2001.He was one of a big band of '35ers who entered Princeton from the Gilman School in Baltimore. He did well at Princeton. But by 1933 his father's death and financial strains at home forced him to transfer to Johns Hopkins. He graduated with a degree in combustion engineering.

Next, Hayward worked briefly for Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. and did a stint with US Steel and several other engineering firms. He then settled into a 30-year career with Rust Furnace & Engineering Co., where he supervised steel mill furnace sales in the US, Europe, and Central and South America. He rose to become Rust's president.

Hayward married Jane Wehr in 1939. They had two children, Anne and H. Hayward Jr., bought a house in Mt. Lebanon, Pa., and spent summer vacations at Dennis Port on Cape Cod, or in the Parry Sound area of Ontario. Hayward retired early, in 1968, and for the next decade he and Jane restored an old farmhouse in Washington County, Pa., that dates to 1787. It's now a registered national historic landmark.

Jane and both children survive him, as do six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
