James Richard Warbasse ’49

Dick Warbasse died Jan. 7, 2012, in Baltimore.

Dick was born Oct. 31, 1927, in Maplewood, N.J., and attended Millburn High School. Three War-basse brothers graduated from Princeton, and all became physicians: Dick, Warren W. ’49, and Law-rence H. ’46. At Princeton, Dick joined Prospect Club, the ski team, Whig-Clio, the Nassau Lit editorial board, the Rifle and Gun Club, and the Episcopal Canterbury Fellowship. He graduated magna cum laude as an SPIA major.

He graduated from Harvard Medical School and had a career in internal medicine and cardiology. He published papers on the evaluation and treatment of coronary-artery disease.

Retirement in 1994 gave Dick time to restore his 18th-century home on the Eastern Shore of Mary-land and to enjoy the wonders of the Chesapeake Bay. In 1951 he married Elizabeth (“Bea”) Bowles, who died in 2005. Their four children, Kristin ’79, Wendyl Horning, Bradford, and James; and five grandchildren survive him. The class sends sympathy to them all.
