Stanley George Jennings Sr.

Born November 1, 1934 in Binghamton, NY, son of the late Walter and Florence Jennings, Mr. Jennings was a graduate of Union-Endicott High School, after which he attended Clarkson University. After serving in the United States Marine Corps, he completed his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia. Our father was a life-long construction professional, working as an estimator, project manager, and eventual owner of Howard & Sprague Incorporated of Binghamton, New York, which was later established as S.G. Jennings Constructors, Inc.

A long-time resident of Kattelville, New York, Mr. Jennings was a parishioner of St. Rita’s Catholic Church in Chenango Forks, served on the Chenango Bridge Zoning Board and was president of the Contractors' Association. He and his wife of 62 years, Anne Jennings, retired to Jekyll Island, Georgia, in 1999. While living on Jekyll Island, he was the resident site engineer of the Glynco Airport terminal remodel and worked on renovations for FLETC. He was an active member in the St. Francis Xavier Church community, especially the parish on Jekyll Island. As a resident of Jekyll Island, he was a member of the Lions Club, serving as President for one year.

On any given Saturday in the fall, our dad could be found refereeing local high school football games, a passion which he enjoyed for 37 years. Dad enjoyed skiing with his family, playing hockey and taking trips to a variety of destinations including Jekyll Island.
