Jaquelin James Daniel ’39

JACK DIED Aug. 7, 1990, in Jacksonville, Fla. The fourth generation of his family to live there, he was widely known and honored as the father of that city's consolidated government and one of its most prominent business and civic leaders.

Jack earned his law degree in 1942, joined his father's law firm, then entered the Navy, commanding a division of motor torpedo boats in the invasion of Normandy. He returned to the law, then moved on to serve as president of a major mortgage banking firm. In 1960 he became publisher of the Florida TIMESUNION and five other newspapers of Florida Publishing Co. He resigned in 1982 which only freed him to devote even more time to what one editorialist called "a lifetime of noble service to this city and state." During 15 years as member of the State Board of Regents he played a major role in expanding and improving Florida's university system. He served Princeton as a trustee 197276. in 1968 we presented to him our 1939 Award in recognition of distinguished achievement bringing honor to the University and our Class.

To Jack's widow, the former Anne Page Coachman, their daughters Eleanor (McCranie) and Jaquelin (Cook), two sisters, and three grandchildren, we offer our sincere sympathy.
