James Bogert Tailer Jr. ’50
Body
Bogey, described as an avid sports fan, died of pneumonia Aug. 30, 2009, in West Palm Beach, Fla. He was 83.
Born in New York City, he spent two years in the Army as a corporal prior to entering Princeton. He was manager of the polo team, belonged to Ivy, and earned a bachelor’s degree in history.
For his first 10 years out of Princeton, he led a checkered life that included a brief stint at the University of Stockholm, a job with Corning Glass, five years at Time Inc., and establishing a company called Imported Car Rentals. By 1975, he had relocated to Palm Beach with a real-estate business address.
Bogey leaves his wife, Barbara; son Jamie; and grandson Davis, to whom we extend our sympathy.
