George Cook Young ’41

George died June 13, 2001, just one month to the day after the death of his wife, Fran.

Arriving at Princeton via the Princeton Country Day School, Rumsey Hall School, and Hotchkiss, Porky majored in geology and hockey. He was captain of our championship 1940-41 hockey team.

A member of Ivy, he also joined the 21 Club and the Right-Wing Club. He roomed variously with Rembert, Lewis, Davies, Flynn, Ferris, Burkham, Wall, and Lippincott.

Entering the Army in Sept. 1941, he served first with the 38th Division, then was assigned to the Field Artillery Board at Fort Bragg, before shipping out to the Philippines, and retired as captain in 1946.

George spent his entire business career with the National City Bank (now Citicorp), retiring in 1978 as assistant to vice president in the financial management department. Porky continued his hockey career with the St. Nicholas hockey club and then coached Little League Hockey for many years.

His first marriage to the late Majorie Munn ended in divorce. In 1950 he married Frances Lineaweaver. They are survived by four sons, George Jr., Henry, Matthew, and James; his daughter, Martha Tholen, and six grandchildren.
