Henry Moir Cathles ’39
MOOSE DIED Mar. 21, 1990, at his home in West Simsbury, Conn., where he had lived ever since his marriage to Dorothy Bentley Boger in 1972. Before that his home was in Scarsdale and his business in New York with North American Reassurance Co., from which he retired as V.P. in 1957. in Simsbury he served on the finance committee of the Simsbury Visiting Nurse Assn., was a member of St. Alban's Episcopal Church, the Hopmeadow Country Club, and was on the board of the Princeton Alumni Assn. of Central Conn.
Always proud of his Scottish heritage, Moose once recalled ' "Golf has been my lifelong love since age nine, when I started out in Scotland with my grandfather's mashie, midiron, and brassie. At that tender age I won a putting contest at St. Andrews."
Moose enjoyed having his brother Lawrence '35 living just up the road, and Dotty's daughter Debra (Boger) McAlenney with her two children nearby. His own two daughters, Beverly and Sheridan Cathles, and two grandsons live in California. He is also survived by his sister, Dorothy Kenchington, and two stepsons, Willett and Bentley Boger. To Dotty and all his family, we offer our sincere sympathy.
