John Sullivan Scully III ’34

Johnny Scully, of Winchester, Va., died Sept, 25, 2003. He was the former president of Winchester Cold Storage Co., which he once described as "primarily an apple house, along with other related activities," and an ardent golfer.

Johnny left college junior year, returning in the fall of 1933 with the Class of '35. In 1967 he was returned to the Class of '34 at his own request. Johnny met annually with '34 classmate Hank Miller of Hagerstown, Md., when the seniors' teams of their respective golf clubs played each other. Reporting on one of their recent encounters Johnny wrote, "Hank looks so young, my fellow golfers have trouble believing we were classmates."

From 1941 to 1946 Johnny served with the 5th Air Force in Australia, New Guinea, and the Philippines. After the war he stayed in the Reserve and retired as a lieutenant colonel.

Johnny was married in 1940 to Fenton (Nelly) Nelson, and they had two sons and two daughters. Fenton died in January 2002. Surviving, besides the children, are eight grandchildren.
