Simon John McPherson II ’44

SANDY PASSED away May 22, 1990, after a sixyear battle with cancer. He was 69. He never let it put him down. His faith in his Lord and his love of Grace and their family left him, as he reviewed his life, "with few regrets and thanks to our Lord too numerous to mention." He had an abiding sense of charity, giving generously of himself throughout his life. A member of the Presbyterian Church in Morristown, NJ., Sandy served in many capacities, including elder and Bethel leader. He was '44's Class agent for six years.

Born in Hartford, Conn., Sandy grew up in Canada. He came to Princeton with the wonderful gang from Lawrenceville. He roomed in Lockhart with John E. Lee those first two years. Sandy left Princeton to serve during WWII, and returned with Grace and a baby son to graduate. He worked for Shell Oil Co. for 35 years, retiring in Dec. 1981.

To Grace, his mate of 47 years; sons, John F. IV and James A.; daughters, Sandra Stout and Anne MacNeal; sisters, Martha Nunn and Joan Blankinship, 13 grandchildren and one greatgrandchild, and all number of Princeton cousins; the Class extends its heartfelt sympathies. We mourn with them and may the good Lord see the name McPherson once again on Princeton rolls.
