Joe died Mar. 7, 2001, of lung cancer. He was 73. He prepared for Princeton at Haverford and served in the Navy from July 1945 until July 1946. At Princeton he majored in English, was a member of Charter Club and assistant business manager of Triangle.

After graduation Joe began with Guinness Stout as a salesman and then ended up on Wall Street as a trader with AMEX. He also had a seat on the NYSE, which he maintained until his death. Joe's major outside interest was cooking, and he and his trading partner owned NYC restaurant Baumer and Brooks. He also coauthored a cookbook.

Joe is survived by two sons, Christopher '80 and Anthony '90, a daughter, Tracey Fox, and seven grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy to them on their loss.
