Stanley H. Shaughnessy ’60

Stan, of St. Michaels, Md., died Sept. 4, 2004, after battling brain cancer for nearly a year.

Known to his classmates as "Shag," he came to Princeton from Tarrytown, N.Y., and graduated in 1961 (although 1960 classmates claim him for their graduating class). He was a starting guard on the 1959 and 1960 varsity football teams and president of Cannon Club.

While at Princeton, he met Linda Bailey, to whom he was married from 1961-98. They had three children, Scott, James, and Gregory.

Stan was an electrical engineer who worked for Delta Electric in White Plains, N.Y., then John Doris International in NYC and Puerto Rico. Much of his career was spent with Fischbach & Moore in Boston and Dallas. More recently, he started an electrical contracting subsidiary of Morrison Knudsen. He retired a few years ago, but continued to do consulting.

Stan enjoyed football, golf, and outdoor sports. But his passion was cruising and racing his 40-foot sailboat, Lion's Pride, with friends and family out of Castine, Maine, Buzzards Bay, Mass., the Chesapeake Bay, and the Virgin Islands. His many friends, loved ones, and family will miss him sorely. He is survived by his sons; a grandson; a granddaughter; his beloved sister, June; his half-sister, Catherine "Sis"; and his companion, Lois Donahue.
