Jack L. Stone ’49 *53

Jack died Oct. 28, 2003, of complications from a stroke he suffered seven years ago. He was 76.

Jack served in the Navy during WWII. At Princeton he majored in electrical engineering both as an undergraduate and for his PhD. He was a member of Cloister Inn.

After graduation Jack worked at Bell Labs, IBM, and other major corporations prior to founding PACE Applied Technology of Manassas, Va. He continued to consult at PACE until his health failed. He was also a consultant and trainer for the government in the field of computer technology. For many years he wrote a humorous column for Computer World that dealt with challenges faced by first-time computer users when software was unforgiving and veiled in mystery.

Although partially paralyzed by his stroke, he remained in high spirits and participated in the P-rade at our 53rd reunion with the help of his brother, Harold '60, who pushed him in his wheelchair.

Predeceased by his wife, Nancy, he is survived by sons Charles, Michael, and Adam, and his brother. To them, the class extends its heartfelt sympathy on their loss.
