Terrence Edmund Connolly ’53

Born in Baltimore, Terry graduated from Boys’ Latin School and played lacrosse at Princeton for three years. He took his meals at Cloister Inn, majored in electrical engineering, and roomed senior year with George Cadeu and Tom LeBrun. After Army service, he received master’s degrees in engineering and business at Syracuse University.  

Terry became chief engineer during his 36-year career with General Electric in the Syracuse area. He received numerous technical awards and patents while engineering surface radar systems for national defense. He had a lifelong love of learning and enjoyed repairing everything and anything that needed fixing. He restored the historic Baldwinsville home in which he and Mary Louise lived.  

Terry’s other interests included tennis, sailing, and music, and we won’t forget his fiddle playing at reunions. Our condolences go to Mary Louise; their children, Kathleen Connolly Milly ’78, Terrence II ’79, and Michael; and six grandchildren.
