Henry Stuart Patterson II ’44

Henry died Dec. 1, 2002. He came to Princeton from St. Mark's and majored in economics. A member of Ivy Club, he roomed with Bob Kean, Jack Dozier, Jerry Johnson, and Tom Wellington.

He saw active service in the Army Field Artillery and was discharged as a first lieutenant. First employed by Dun & Bradstreet, he was president and director of Elizabethtown Water Co. most of his life; he chaired the executive committee of United Jersey Bank.

Henry was elected mayor of Princeton Borough for four terms, during which the municipal building was constructed, the library enlarged, and the school system merged with that of the township.

He also served as a commissioner for the State Commission of Investigation under both Governors Byrne and Kean. He was a member of the Rutgers U. Board of Overseers.

He and his late wife, Suzanne, had two sons, Henry III and Michael; two daughters, Abby Ann and Lucy; and seven grandchildren. We send them our sincere condolences.
