Henry A. Caesar II ’37

Harry died Sept. 5, 2004, in New Canaan, Conn. He was 89. His father was Class of 1913 and his late brother, Porter, was Class of 1938.

He prepared at Choate, was on the freshman squash squad, and was an editor of the Daily Princetonian, a member of Quadrangle Club, and a history major. He graduated from Yale Law School, practiced law in New York, and then joined the family business, H.A. Caesar & Co. He was CEO when the company was acquired by First Union of Charlotte, N.C., in 1969.

He was one of our classmates who found a second career in his hobby — sculpture. At the 50th reunion, he wrote of his great satisfaction in the art, working with other sculptors in various mediums in a semi-abstract style. His works are in collections across the country. Memorials may be sent to the Henry Caesar Sculptor Fund, New Canaan, Conn.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Allison Garver; sons Sanderson, Porter, Austin, and John; eight grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. We send our condolences on the loss of this talented and interesting man.
