John Heman Converse ’42
John died Mar. 9, 1999, at home, in Villanova, Pa. Having devoted his entire business career to the securities industry, he retired from Paine Webber in 1985.
John prepared at St. Paul's School; at Princeton he majored in politics and was a member of Cottage Club. After four years in the Army Air Corps, during WWII, primarily in Iceland and Greenland, he returned to his native Philadelphia and joined W.H. Newbold's Son & Co. as a securities salesman. After a number of years with Eastman Dillon, he devoted the remainder of his career to Paine Webber.
To his widow, Ruth; to his daughters, Marilyn, Patricia, and Barbara; and to his seven grandchildren, the class extends its most sincere sympathies.
