George W. Warch ’34

George Warch died Aug. 1, 1999. He was 87 and had been living in a nursing home where his daughter, Mrs. Linda Fenton, had moved him after he suffered a debilitating stroke, leaving his longtime residence at The Cupola, in Paramus, N.J. Natives of Ridgewood, George and his late wife, Helen Hansen, dwelt in the area after marrying in 1936.

George was known for his sense of humor, his substantial original gift of a dedicated fund from his father's estate that supported '34's Special Assistance Fund (SAF) in its early days, and for his vigorous style as a drummer. After giving up his insurance business, he spent his prime retirement years with a band of musical friends entertaining residents of Bergen County nursing homes.

In addition to his daughter, he is survived by his son, Rik.
