John E. Furlong ’64

Jeff died April 25, 2021, in Lakeway, Texas. He grew up in Pelham, N.Y., and attended Pelham Memorial High School, where he ran track and cross country.

At Princeton, where his father was a member in the Class of 1936, Jeff majored in history, served as president of Key & Seal, played on the freshman and JV football teams, and participated in several other sports, including rugby, track, and sailing. Among his roommates were Steve Roth, John Raubitschek, and Hugh Lynch.

Following graduation he attended the Rice School of Architecture, earning a B.Arch. in 1968. He then spent a 40-year career with what is now the Austin Co. in Houston, eventually becoming chief architect and major client liaison. Retiring in 2009, he reported, “the work was interesting, often challenging, and mostly enjoyable.”

In 1982 Jeff married Vicki Martin, a native Texan and English teacher. After his retirement they moved to Lakeway, near Austin.

Jeff served as an unofficial photographer for our class, documenting in wonderful photos our various reunions and events.

We extend our condolences to Vicki; his sister, Paula; and brothers Bill, Mark, and Jim.
