Paul A. Siock Jr. ’64

Paul died March 8, 2012.

He was born in Dunmore, Pa., grew up in Kenilworth, N.J., and graduated from Jonathan Dayton High School. At Princeton, Paul majored in chemical engineering, was active in Orange Key, and dined at Court Club. He roomed with Jerry Yencharis and Bill Most in Blair Hall junior and senior years.

One of the great challenges to Paul’s graduation was passing Princeton’s swimming test, since he seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time on the bottom of Dillon Gym pool being rescued by his roommates. He went on to earn a master’s degree from MIT and an M.B.A. from Seton Hall. Paul worked as a chemical engineer for over 35 years for Chevron, Oxirane, and Arco Chemical.

Paul’s passions in life were his family, his church, sports — including watching many Princeton basketball games —and staying out of deep water.

Paul is survived by Jean, his wife of 48 years; two daughters; two sons; and 11 grandchildren. The class extends deep sympathy to Jean and the family.
