Body

Jack, a longtime resident of Oklahoma City, died May 15, 1998. He was 85. A graduate of Phillips Andover, he majored in biology and was a member of Tiger Inn. He was in the oil business for over 60 years. After his being associated with Stanolind Oil Co., in 1950 he became a partner of Huston Huffman (Yale '36). They were oil operators for many years in several western states.

Jack was an outstanding golfer for over 70 years. Captain of Princeton's varsity golf team in his senior year, in 1936 he was elected president of the Intercollegiate Golf Assn. After graduation he was the last amateur to win the Oklahoma Open, and he won both the Colorado State Amateur and the Broadmoor Invitational, plus several other tournaments. He qualified for the U.S. Amateur in 1933 and 1963. He was a life director of the Trans-Mississippi Golf tournament.

Jack is survived by his wife, Aileen, daughters Margaret Thompson and Sandra Cantey, sons John G., Paul, and Emery A. Cantey Jr., brother Patrick, 11 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. His first wife, Geraldine, died in 1961. The last time we say Jack was at our 50th reunion in 1986. He led a productive and interesting life.
