S. Scott Kirkley ’74

Scott died May 18, 2016, from early-onset Alzheimer’s. He came to Princeton from the McDonogh School with roommate Bob Kershaw. Scott majored in economics, earned three varsity lacrosse letters, and was an officer of Cottage Club, where he lived senior year.

After Princeton Scott returned to Maryland, where he soon became a leader in the local hospitality and restaurant industry. With Marty, his spouse, he was an owner and operator of The Library and Bogie’s restaurants in Annapolis before selling them. He joined the Severn Bank for Savings board of directors in 1980 and served for many years as executive vice president in charge of lending. Scott was a key force in the bank’s IPO on Nasdaq in 2002 and retired in 2009 after more than 25 years of service. In recognition of his contributions to the bank and the Annapolis community, Severn renamed its corporate boardroom the S. Scott Kirkley Board Room.

Scott never lost his spirit, friendly smile, great listening skill, or compassion for others. He is survived by Marty; sister Susan Harden; daughters Amy and Kim; and grandchildren Trevor, Savannah, Pippi, and young “Scotty,” born three weeks before Scott’s death.
