Lawrence H. Shendalman *66

Lawrence Shendalman, a partner in the Princeton Dental Group, died March 18, 2016, after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was 76.

Born in Toronto, Canada, Shendalman graduated from the University of Toronto in 1961 with a degree in engineering physics. In 1966, he earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Princeton. Shendalman then taught at Yale for five years, after which he had his first career change by joining the Exxon Corp. for a couple of years.

A second career change came when he entered an accelerated two-year program at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1975 with a doctor of dental medicine degree. As a dentist, Shendalman was a partner at the Princeton Dental Group on North Harrison Street.

A dedicated dentist and family man, he also completed 22 New York City marathons. For Princeton, he contributed to the Graduate School’s Annual Giving campaign for more than a quarter-century.

Shendalman is survived by Anita, his wife of more than 51 years; two daughters (including Elissa Shendalman Johnson ’88); and four grandchildren.

Graduate memorials are prepared by the APGA.
