Henderson Supplee III ’51

Woozy died Aug. 23, 2022, in Bryn Mawr, Pa.

With strong family ties to Princeton (his father was ’26 and a long-time trustee and mother was Hobey Baker’s cousin), he matriculated from Philadelphia’s Episcopal Academy to major in economics, join Quadrangle Club, dance in the Triangle chorus line, and play intramural sports. Roommates included Bob Akeley, Charlie Ganoe, Jim Glenn, Bill Huston, and George Nesbitt.

Called to active duty by the National Guard in August 1950, he returned to Princeton after service in Germany to graduate in 1953. He earned an MBA from Penn’s Wharton School and worked for the Secretary of Defense in the Pentagon for four years before returning to Philadelphia to become a life and health insurance agent for Penn Mutual.

Woozy took a leadership role in a number of not-for-profit organizations. He was president of the Episcopal Academy alumni, the Racquet Club, and the Presser Foundation, and board member of the Shipley School, Center for the Blind, Salvation Army, and Dunwoody (Retirement Village). The month of February found him skiing in Aspen; he loved to sing and play the banjo and was accomplished in the ancient sport of court tennis.

Survivors include his wife, Barbara, and three daughters.
