Stuart H. Steinbrink ’27

Stu Steinbrink died on Oct. 22, 2001. He was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., and remained a New Yorker for his entire life. He came to Princeton from Polytechnic Preparatory Country Day School, where he graduated cum laude. At Princeton he was a member of the Law Club, Whig Hall, and the Polity Club, and served on the executive committee of the Jewish Student Congregation — interests that characterized his life after Princeton. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa.

Stu enjoyed a successful career in the law, leading or serving in several distinguished law firms. When he retired in 1984, he was senior corporate attorney for Gulf & Western Industries, Inc. He was devoted to local charities and social service organizations, especially the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York and its affiliates; was secretary and director, Brooklyn Bureau of Social Service and Children's Aid Society; served as a delegate to the White House Conference on Education and as an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Assn.; and assisted with Princeton's fundraising.

He is survived by Ruth, his second wife; son Richard and daughter Barbara, from his first wife, Carolyn, who died in 1961; nine grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its condolences.
