Edward Holloway Jr. ’40

Ed devoted his life to the service of others and his family before he died on Dec. 28, 2001. And this was his own benediction: "Through it all remains our love for Princeton."

At Princeton he majored in politics, graduating with departmental honors. He was on the 150-lb. crew and a member of Elm Club.

During WWII, Ed taught history and artillery at West Point. After the war he got his degree from Yale Law School in 1947, joining his father's — later his own — law firm, where he stayed until he retired.

Ed remained an active Army reservist until 1971, retiring as a colonel. He was also governor of the Society of Colonial Wars, a lifelong Mason, trustee and secretary of the Browning School.

His first devotion, though, was to his wife, Gail, and family; his spare-time interests were skiing, tennis, travel, and music. To Gail and his daughter, Hope, Ed's classmates extend their sincere sympathies.
