John G. Scranton ’57

John died April 1, 2013, at his home in Key West, Fla. He had suffered multiple illnesses in recent years, including memory loss and prostate cancer.

At Princeton, John majored in history and joined Cottage Club. In 1960 he married Brenda, and in 1968 Susannah was born. Brenda subsequently died.

Most of John’s adult life was lived in New York’s Greenwich Village. The bulk of his career was spent in the corporate health insurance and pension business. He attended reunions and kept up with his friends.

He and his second wife, Damaris, adopted their grandson, Max, when his mother, Susannah, was unable to care for him. John got great joy from Max, walking him to school and doing many other activities with him.

John retired from the insurance business when he was 64 and moved to Key West permanently.

To Damaris and the family, the class extends its condolences.
