Barr Howard died Aug. 17, 2005, in a nursing home in Nanuet, N.Y.

He was a resident for many years of Cos Cob, Conn. and before that of Rye, N.Y. A graduate of Taft School, he entered Princeton in the summer of 1942. From 1943 to 1946 he served in the Army Field Artillery, landing at Normandy Beach in the D-Day invasion. He graduated in 1948.

Barr excelled in track, especially cross country. His career included direct sales and retail securities business in Richmond, Va., and in Connecticut. Sports engaged him and his family, especially skiing and boating. He is survived by Virginia, his wife of 56 years; their children, Barbara, Christopher, and Peter; and five grandchildren. To them all, the class extends sincere sympathy on the loss of our loyal classmate.
