Sidney Bayley Silleck Jr. ’36

Sid died Mar. 6, 1998, after a long illness. A graduate of Deerfield Academy, at Princeton he majored in psychology and was a member of Key and Seal Club. For many years he was our class photographer and was on our class executive committee.

During WWII, he served in the Merchant Marine as a warrant officer aboard troopships. Returning to civilian life, he worked in executive positions with advertising leaders Young and Rubicam and Kenyon and Eckhardt. He retired after serving as marketing and sales manager for Chemical Bank.

In 1982 Sid and D. Haven Scott issued the Class of 1936 Football Folio including many old newspaper articles describing our varsity years as a national football power, having lost only one game. Other classes supplied several great stars. Our freshman team was undefeated and unscored upon. We reprinted the Folio in our 50 Yearbook.

Sid was a founder of the Branford [Conn.] Trolley Museum, which has grown to a large number of renovated street cars operating over a one and one-half mile track along the shore.

He is survived by his wife, Katherine W., sons S. Bayley III '62, John G., and Thomas B., daughter Katherine W., three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Sid will be remembered as a loyal Princetonian and classmate.
