Peter H. Schenck ’56

Pete died of a heart attack Sept. 24, 2005.

After graduating from the Lawrenceville School, he entered Princeton with our class but left after sophomore year. He remained a loyal Tiger over the years and was looking forward to attending our 50th reunion.

Pete spent a year at Elmhurst College followed by two years in the Army. He graduated from Northwestern University in 1960 with a bachelor's degree in business.

Pete was a member of the Chi Psi fraternity and had been national chairman of its educational trust. He spent his career in the textile industry and retired in 2000 as vice president of his company. He also was active in the leadership of the Community Presbyterian Church in Clarendon Hills, Ill.

Pete was proud of his Dutch heritage and was president of the Midwest branch of the Holland Society. He was an avid golfer and baseball fan. With his wife, Ann, he was a regular in Phoenix for the Cubs' spring

training.

We remember Pete as a good friend, whose warmth and good humor will be sorely missed. Our deepest sympathies go to Ann, the couple's four children, and six grandchildren.
