John O Joseph Donnell ’46
Jack died Aug. 17, 2004, of kidney failure at his home in Boulder, Colo.
He came to Princeton from East Orange [N.J.] High in 1942 for engineering, joined the Navy V-12 program at Cornell, and graduated with our class in 1947. His business career began in New York City with Cities Service Co., continued with Standard Oil, and then in 1965 with Gould, Inc., in Boulder as division manager. He later ran his own Diversified Marketing Co. there.
Always a strong family man, Jack married Jeanne Powell in 1947 and they had three sons, William L., Christopher M., and John P.; a daughter, Patricia Gogerty; and four grandchildren. The family enjoyed many travels together. To them all, the class joins in mourning the loss of a fine Tiger.
