Henry M. Kennedy ’32

The class suffered a grievous loss when Ty Kennedy died Mar. 14, 1997, at the Princeton Medical Center. Long a resident of South Orange, for the past several years he lived at Meadow Lakes, a retirement community near Hightstown, N.J.

In senior year we voted Ty the "Best all around man outside of athletics." He was an officer of the class in many capacities, and later president of the Princeton Alumni Assn. of the Oranges and a member of the Graduate Council.

His business career was all with the Prudential Insurance Co., from which he retired in 1970 as v.p. in charge of advertising and publications. He served as president of the Life Advertisers' Assn. and as a director of the Assn. of National Advertisers.

Always interested in health planning, Ty was the first chairman of New Jersey's State Health Planning Council. He also served on the N.J. Regional Medical Program, the Natl. Public Relations Council for Health and Welfare Services, and as a trustee of the Hospital Center at Orange Foundation. He was the chairman for some years of the South Orange Planning Board and an elder of the Presbyterian church.

His wife, the former Mary Bingham, died in 1978. He leaves two sons, Henry M. Jr. and Bingham, and five grandchildren. With them we are proud to have been a part of Ty's productive life.
