Joe, husband of the late Louise Shanahan Gilleaudeau, died Jan. 4, 2007, in Doylestown, Pa.

He was a graduate of St. George’s School of Newport, R.I. At Princeton, he majored in history, was on the freshman soccer team, aided in the Student-Faculty Association Canvass, was a member of the Catholic Club, and was vice president of Quadrangle Club.

He served in the Army, being assigned to the European theater and reaching the rank of captain. Upon discharge, he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal.

During Joe’s business career in New York City, he was associated with W.R. Grace & Co., followed by the Publication Corp., a gravure-printing firm. There he was corporate secretary and oversaw labor relations. During his later years, he was involved in Greenwich, Conn., real estate.

His family, Irish wolfhounds, and Princeton were his special interests. He was past president of the Wolfhound Club of America and New England, and a member of the American Legion and the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Bucks County, Pa. Joe was always there for Princeton Reunions, luncheons, games, and class council meetings.

He is survived by two daughters, Gale Stafford and Aimee Lundy; a son, Joseph R.; and seven grandchildren. His classmates offer them all their deep sympathies.
