John B. Dewolf ’46

Body

John died Feb. 19, 2000, in Wayne, Pa., of a stroke he first suffered in 1993. Although a Yale '44 student, he served in the army from 1942-43, then as an employee of Philco Corp., he earned a Princeton BSE degree in 1945. He continued with Philco in Japan, Europe, and the US. From 1957-75, he partnered an electronics firm, Bartlett Associates.

John loved sailing, traveling, amateur radio, and philately. He is survived by his wife, Wanda Vaught, his sons, John B. III and James T., and four grandchildren, to all of whom the class sends its deep sympathy.
