John Livingston Haines French ’30

John French died May 4, 1995, in Hudson, Ohio, shortly after he had moved from Florida to stay with his daughter, Caroline.

He came to Princeton from Biloxi, Miss. He prepared at Mercersburg. He moved to Cuba, where he worked for B. F. Goodrich. He then went to Mexico, where he worked for Alcoa. He started a chain of shops, Tropicream, in Cuba, and expanded to Miami and eventually to Caracas, Venezuela, where Tropicream became Tropiburger. He lived in Venezuela for 12 years, later moving to Puerto Rico.

He married Helen Eckles in 1929. They divorced in 1955, and he married Kathryn Wroe in 1956. She died in 1994. We extend to his family our deepest sympathy.
