Horace W. Schwarz ’43

Horace died Jan. 19, 2018, at the age of 97, at Willow Valley Communities, near Lancaster, Pa., where he resided for the last 14 years with his wife, Ann Haydock.

He attended Episcopal Academy and graduated from the Lawrenceville School before coming to Princeton, where he majored in chemistry. He was a member of Cottage Club.

During World War II, he served in the Army’s Third Reconnaissance Division and witnessed the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp as well as the surrender of Salzburg. He mentioned the surprise reunion of running into several of his Princeton classmates in Berchtesgaden about two weeks after V-E Day.

He returned from the war to meet his daughter Leslie Ann. Two years later he was again a proud father of twin girls, Carolyn and Alice.

He worked as vice president and treasurer of Royal Electrotype Co. for 15 years and in 1964 became a stockbroker for Elkins, Morris, Stroud & Co., and later for Butcher & Singer. He ended his financial career in Philadelphia, working for Janney Montgomery Scott. He was a member of the Union League Club, Merion Cricket Club, and Forest Lake Club in the Poconos, where he had a second home and enjoyed golf, tennis, and fishing.

His appreciation of music motivated him to serve many years on the boards of the Settlement Music School and the Academy of Vocal Arts.

Horace is survived by his wife of 74 years, Ann; three daughters; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
