Trev, a retired advertising and public relations executive for whom sailing was a passion, died of a heart condition June 21, 2007, in Newport, R.I. He was 86.

A native New Yorker, Trev prepped at Choate School and Blair Academy. At Princeton he won many awards for sailing, including the National Intercollegiate Dinghy Championship. He majored in biology and joined Charter Club, but left Princeton after sophomore year, becoming a navigator and later a skipper in the Amphibian Command. During World War II he commanded a 45-foot staff boat in New Guinea, New Britain, and the Philippines.

Trev’s advertising and public relations career first included work at Mikkelsen Co., R.H. Donnelley Corp., and The New York Sun. Before retiring he was an executive at Doremus & Co., Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corp., and General Precision Equipment Corp. in New York.

He spent the majority of his retirement with his wife of 53 years, Erdice Rockhill Pardee, aboard their yacht Talaria cruising the waters of the eastern U.S. and the Caribbean. He was an accomplished singer in church choirs and a member of the Amateur Comedy Club.

Trev is survived by his wife; daughters Lelia Pardee-Haller and Margaret Pardee; and son S. Trevor Jr. ’81.
