Paul Woo ’56

Paul died Jan. 15, 2005, at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, N.C. His daughter, Beadsie, sent us the sad news right away, knowing that her father was "a proud alumnus of the Class of '56 and a devoted Princeton fan."

On learning of Paul's death, fellow engineering student Ken Snedeker wrote: "You could always count on him to be happy and with a smile on his face. He was great to be with in class or working in a lab."

Born in Shanghai, the youngest of the six children of William and Grace Woo, Paul came to the US in 1952 to enter Princeton. After he retired from IBM in 1987, he spent his time on entrepreneurial pursuits and traveling with his family.

Immediate survivors are his wife, Marilyn; daughter Lillian Grace Woo and her husband, Eric Manzon; daughter Jane Woo, her husband, Mike DiCuccio, and their son, Tom DiCuccio; daughter Michelle Marie Woo; and sons Paul Vincent and Christopher William. The class extends deep sympathy to all Paul's family.
