George Tracy Kinniry ’44

Body

GEORGE DIED Jan. 31, 1992, in Naples, Fla., after a ten year battle with Atzheimers. He was 72. He leaves his widow, Anne; two daughters, Janet and Annie; and two sons Thomas and Steven. We share their sorrow. What of this good man after Princeton and wartime Naval aviation? He married in Aug. 1946 and began a successful career in the insurance business, retiring as a V.P. with Aetna. The frequency of his moves curtailed his outside interests. He had a ball with his kids, enjoyed golf and later platform tennis, and kept in touch with Bob Sandbach'43, his buddy at Tiger Inn, making one football game a season together. lie was not a correspondent. His Class folder was bare. As Anne wrote, "If his livelihood had depended on writing, we'd have been on welfare." Anne, we'd love to have you take his place in '44.
