John Keeling Mills Jr. ’32

Body

OUR FRIEND and loyal classmate Jack Mills died at the Greenwich, Conn. hospital, Mar. 31,1990. He came to us from South Kent School, and at college roomed for two years with King Irwin, and two years with Jake Herzog. He was a member of Cannon.

Jack spent 32 years with the Pitney Bowes Co. in a wide variety of executive positions, retiring in 1974 as V.P. in charge of the mailing equipment division. He served in the Army in WWII and was discharged a It. colonel. For much of his life Jack was a fixture in Darien, Conn. But after his retirement he moved to his "old homestead" in Greenwich. He also had a condominium in St. Petersburg, Fla., where he spent his winters.

In 1941 Jack was married to the former Alice Pask. They brought up two daughters and had a fine life together until Alice began to suffer from multiple sclerosis. After a long and courageous battle with that disease, she died in 1983. Surviving are his daughters, Marsha M. Savage of St. Petersburg, and Barbara M. Kennedy of Darien. Also surviving are two sisters, Anne M. Nielsen and Jeanne M. Frederick, and five grandchildren. To all of them we send deepest sympathy in their loss.
