Stuart Zalmy Siris Krinsly ’38

Body

Stu died at home in Mamaroneck, N.Y., Nov. 15, 2002. He prepared at Poly Prep Brooklyn, and at Princeton he majored in economics.

He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1941, and and served from 1942 to 1945 as an assistant US attorney for the Southern District of N.Y. By 1948, Stu was secretary and director of Sun Chemical (now Sequa Corp. of NYC). Fifty-four years later, he was senior executive vice president, director, and general counsel of Sequa, and secretary of Sequa Foundation. He was described as an architect of the strategy that transformed Sequa from a small producer of printing inks to a multinational supplier of jet engine components and other technical products.

He was a member of the Princeton Club of NYC, the Beach Point Club of Mamaroneck, and Congregation Kol Ami.

Stu is survived by his wife of 58 years, the former Charlotte Wolf, daughters Joan Rosenthal and Elin Krinsly, and grandchildren Stephanie, Douglas, and Carolyn. The class extends sympathy to all of his family.
