G. Warren Daane Jr. ’65

Warren died June 11, 2015, in Oakland, Calif., where he had lived for many years.

The son of G. Warren Daane 1932 and Mavis Daane, Warren came to us from Shaker Heights (Ohio) High School. He and Clark Graebner, a future Davis Cup winner, won the Boys Doubles National Championship in high school, along with a number of other tennis titles in the United States and Canada.

Warren was tennis captain senior year and played for all four years on our highly ranked team. He majored in history and wrote his thesis on “Tom Johnson and His Fight for Three-Cent Fare.” Warren took his meals at Charter and roomed with John Shirk and Jeff Gorin, who remained lifelong friends.

Thereafter he moved to the Bay Area and had a successful career, first at Crocker Bank and then at his own firm as a mortgage banker. Warren never lost his love of or skills in tennis, and was club president of the Berkeley Tennis Club and was twice named “Member of the Year.”

He is survived by his son, David; daughters Maria Daane and Megan Daane Lawrence; brothers Charles Daane ’74 and Robert Daane; six grandchildren; and his life partner, Eileen Ingenthron.
