Jack died Nov. 29, 2020.

He came to us from Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh, where he was active in publications and dramatics and was a sports manager. A dedicated alumnus, he served as the school’s chairman of the board and a trustee.

At Princeton he majored in history, joined Tower Club, served as program director of WPRU, was active in the Pre-Law Society, and worked with the Nassau Herald and the Senior Council in his senior year. He attended Harvard Law School in 1954-55 before two years of service in the Army as a lieutenant, primarily in Korea.

Jack met Janet Rice (with an assist from classmate Art Thomas), and they married in 1957 after his military service. He went on to earn a law degree from Harvard in June 1959. He returned to Pittsburgh, where he practiced corporate law for his entire legal career as associate and then partner with Reed, Smith, Shaw & McClay. He retired in 1995.

Jack enjoyed sailing, downhill skiing, and tennis into his early 70s. He and Janet enjoyed domestic and world travel, observing wildlife on all seven continents, taking a sentimental trip to Korea, and following the Lewis and Clark Trail.

Jack was predeceased by Janet in 2012. He is survived by sons Richard ’83 and Ralph, daughter Carol, and six grandchildren.
