Scott W. Jeffery ’43

We lost Scott on Jan. 10, 1997. He died at his home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., following a long and debilitating illness. He was 75.

After his graduation from Princeton, he served as a Navy pilot during WWII.

Scott enjoyed a long and illustrious career with the Colgate Palmolive Co. in Cali, Colombia, where he was CEO. He was the founding president of the American School in Cali, organizer of the first David Cup tournament, and instrumental in the development of three sports parks. Both the president of Colombia and the mayor of Cali recognized Scott's service to the community, bestowing awards on him for his continuous involvement in bettering the city's life.

Scott is survived by his wife, Patricia, well known to many classmates, two daughters, a son, and five grandchildren. Interment was in Greenwich, Conn., where Scott grew up.

To the entire family, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
