Benjamin M. Johns Jr. ’49

Ben died unexpectedly Aug. 29, 2005. He was 78.

He was a graduate of DuPont High School in Wilmington, Del., and attended Andover. Ben spent most of a semester with us prior to enlisting in the Air Force for service at the end of World War II.

After leaving the service he moved to upstate New York, where he was in the custom kitchen-design industry for more than 50 years. He was an avid golfer.

Ben is survived by his wife, Katherine; two daughters, Patricia Edsell and Susan Ziff; a son, Michael; and five grandchildren. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them in their loss.
