Malcolm E. Kneeland ’40

"Mac was the most wonderful husband and best friend," was his wife Marilyn's tribute after he died from a cerebral hemorrhage at Mercy Suburban Hospital in East Noriton, Pa., on Mar. 26, 2002.

Preparing at Peabody HS in Pittsburgh, he majored in chemistry at Princeton, graduating with honors. Mac was a member of the Triangle Club (stage manager) and Elm Club, and was active also in club athletics and organizational affairs. He received a medical degree from Columbia in 1943.

During WWII he served in the Pacific area and later was a lieutenant in the Naval Reserve. After a variety of surgical residencies, Mac became chief of surgery for 21 years at Montgomery Hospital, in Norristown, Pa.

His activities were numerous, serving many years as regional chair for AG; swimming, golf, skiing, and gardening occupied his spare moments.

Mac's comments in our 50th reunion book say it all: "Life has been good . . . a happy, enduring marriage, three sons, four grandchildren . . . we share together, we play together . . . we have been fortunate . . . what more could one ask?"

To that loving family — wife of 58 years, Marilyn, sons Blake and Chase, six grandchildren, and sister — we offer our condolences.
