Jack Eiler ’47

JP died Oct. 15, 2016, at Abington Health in Lansdale, Pa. A lifelong resident of eastern Pennsylvania, JP entered Princeton in 1943 and majored in civil engineering. He was a member of Elm Club, and was coxswain on the 150-pound crew team that won the championship at the Henley Regatta.

After a stint as a Naval officer, JP took his civil engineering skills to the United States government, where he worked for both the departments of Interior and the Navy. His final career activity was with Navmar Applied Sciences Corp.

JP and his wife, Jane, were married for 67 years, and they spent much free time sailing their 35-foot Pearson sloop in the Chesapeake and skiing and hiking in wilderness areas of the United States. They were regular attenders of our class’s mini-reunions.

Jack is survived by Jane, daughters Sally and Lisa, and granddaughter Kyra. The class sends its memories of this accomplished and active classmate to his wife and daughters.
