Josiah S. Packard ’27

Body

Joe died peacefully in San Francisco on his 91st birthday, Dec. 15, 1994, after a short illness. He prepared at Lawrenceville School. At Princeton, he was on the freshman track and cross-country teams and a member of Court Club. He left Princeton in 1925 to attend M.I.T.: We know little of his life from that time on, since he supplied no information to the class, but we do know that he worked for Railway Express until he retired in 1962
