Body

Born in Englewood, N.J., the son of John Neary ’32, Michael died Aug. 26, 2024.

He came to us from the Englewood School for Boys and was a freshman fencer. He withdrew from Princeton after freshman year and went into the Army.

We know that he worked for Boeing and operated the Neary Patent Law Office, but otherwise we know nothing about his professional or personal life, only that he resided in La Pine, Ore., at the time of our 50th reunion.

He is survived by his wife, Sandra, who informs us that, per his wishes, there was no obituary.
