Issue date: 4/21/08 Section: News
Retired UM-St. Louis professor Joseph P. McKenna died on April 11, 2008, in Sun City West, Ariz., because of complications of pneumonia. He was 85.
In 196, he joined UM-St. Louis as professor of economics until his retirement in 1985, ending his 35-year career in education.
He wrote three textbooks and many articles, served as consultant to government and other agencies, served on the Board of Trustees of the Missouri Council on Economic Education, and was active with the Joint Council on Economic Education.
A memorial service for McKenna will be held at a later date in Milwaukee, where his family had planned to move.
He was cremated and will be interred in Wood National Cemetery in Milwaukee.
In his memory, a gift to a charity of your choice in his name would be his wish, especially those caring for the less fortunate.
