Art Van Horne died Nov. 2, 2011, in Los Altos, Calif.

He graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka, Ill. At Princeton he majored in politics; participated in 150-pound crew, cross-country, and orchestra; and joined Quadrangle Club and ROTC. His roommates included Dey Watts, Bill Swartz, Don Thomson, and Bill Trible.

In 1943, during his Army service, he married Helen Vogl, whom he met thanks to an introduction by someone in ’42 while they were in a Joe Brown boxing class.

Postwar he worked for BorgWarner International in Chicago, where he was a member of the Princeton Club, and then Carry-Pak. He moved to the Bay Area of California in 1956 where he began Kashmir Carpet, a custom carpet firm serving the interior-design trade.

Soon after his retirement and Helen’s death in 1993, he began volunteering at the Community Services Agency in Mountain View, Calif., which he did nearly every day for 17 years.

His sons John ’72 and Richard ’78 both married Princeton classmates, Christine Kozik ’72 and Anne Demitrack ’78, respectively. In addition to them, Art is survived by sons Arthur and Jeffrey; a daughter, Nancy Long; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
