John Dawes Ames Jr. ’52

Following a brief illness, John Ames died Jan. 22, 1998, at the Evanston Hospital. His memorial service was held in the Episcopal Church of St. James the Less, in Northfield, Ill., where he had been treasurer for the previous four years.

A graduate of Deerfield Academy, John majored in philosophy and belonged to Dial Lodge. Commissioned lieutenant in the field artillery, he served in Korea and was awarded the Bronze Star for bravery. He graduated from the Harvard Business School in 1956.

John's professional life was spent entirely in investment management. He worked for Fidelity Management and Research in Boston and Bacon, Whipple & Co. and William Blair in Chicago as account and portfolio manager for both individuals and mutual funds.

John is survived by his wife, Dorothy, two children, John and Elizabeth, one grandchild, his mother, Mrs. Charles C. Townsend, a brother, William S. '55, and his stepmother, Mrs. John D. Ames. His father, John D. '28, died in 1987. To them we extend our deepest sympathies.
