Paul Kroehnke ’44

Paul, who lived in Vineyard Haven, Mass., died there on Aug. 18, 2000, of lung cancer and pneumonia after a long illness. He had been retired on the island for the past 22 years.

At Princeton, he majored in mathematics, was a member of Dial Lodge, and ran the 100-yard dash on the track team. He spent three years in the navy, of which more than two were in the Pacific.

Paul married Georgia Holpp in 1946. He got an MS from Washington U. and then worked as a project engineer in St. Louis, first with Emerson Electric and then with Sperry Gyroscope. His hobby was photography, and he moved to Syosset, Long Island, and established a camera shop there for 20 years; he was also involved in painting and sculpture. For over 50 years, Paul was a regular attendee at class reunions.

He is survived by Georgia and their four children, Louise, Paul Jr., Sally, and Carol; and two grandchildren. The class extends sympathy to them all.
