Henry Munn Slauson Jr. ’37

Henry Munn Slauson Jr. died April 15, 2007, at his home.

He was born in Roselle, N.J., lived in Plainfield, N.J., and spent time in Cranford, N.J., as well as in Milton, Vt. He attended the Pingry School and Plainfield High School before coming to Princeton, where he was on the freshman golf squad and sang in the Glee Club.

Henry began his business career at Morgan Stanley, then joined the Army and served as a captain in the Pacific theater, where he was awarded a Bronze Star. After the war he worked at Johnson & Johnson, C.R. Bard, and eventually acquired his own small business, the Don Robinson Corp. He continued his association with the Officers Reserve Corps.

Henry loved Vermont and spent many summers at “Shadycroft,” a cottage where he enjoyed his annual “cousins’ weekend.” He relished his 1949 golf handicap card that qualified him for the New Jersey State Amateur Championship. His hobbies included fishing, golfing, bridge, and singing.

Henry is survived by his wife of 56 years, Elsie Hansel; his sons, Henry III, Francis, and Timothy; and grandchildren, Whitney Henry IV, Alexander, and Matthew. We extend our loving sympathy with our fond remembrances to his family and friends.
