Geoffrey S. Warren ’47

Body

Geoff died July 19, 2000, after a long battle with cancer. He was born in 1927 in St. Johns, Newfoundland. As the son of a foreign service officer, he grew up abroad, primarily in South America.

He graduated from Kent School and served in the navy during the last year of WWII. After the war, he completed his education at Princeton, where he was a member of Court Club and graduated in 1948 with a degree in public and international affairs. He resumed service in the naval reserve during the 1950s and retired with the rank of lt. commander.

Geoff worked for Sears Roebuck for 40 years, retiring as an executive in Chicago. He lived in Glencoe, Ill., for 30 years and was very active in community affairs, the Episcopal Church, and area choral groups.

To his wife of 51 years, Elizabeth, and the entire family, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
