John D. Hinchliffe Jr. ’41

Body

John died Apr. 14, 1998, after a long illness. He had been married almost 56 years to Beatrice Millicent Jamieson, who survives.

Coming to college from the Romford School in Washington, Conn., John majored in modern languages, joined Key & Seal, and roomed with Dan Kreer. During the war he served in the Pacific with the Army's Ordnance and Armored Force. His career specialty was personnel work, and he became director of human resources with the Cramer Division of the Conrac Corp. For the past 15 years he had been a consultant to the American Assn. of Industrial Management.

Besides Beatrice, survivors include daughters Barbara, Susan H. Stallings, and Pamela H. Herrick. There are three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. We are saddened to lose this talented gentleman.
