John M. Farley ’37

JOHN FARLEY, of the quixotic wit and passion for Princeton, died Sept. 12, 1990, at last released from his diabetic woes. On July 14, 1945, he married Patricia Bridgen, a British Wren, in London. They had five children: Charles, Alison, Christopher, Michael, and Mary Elizabeth; and six grandchildren. After Princeton John was a sports editor with the BUFFALO TIMES and, after the war, with the TIMES-REVIEW in Bergenfield, NJ., before switching to furniture sales with Ethan Allen. He retired in 1979. During the war, by 1942 John was R.O. in a firing battery in Northern Ireland, and then within ten minutes of being on Omaha Beach met Biz Gifford and they set up a Princeton Club of the Beachhead. He garnered a Bronze Star with the 190th Field Artillery, while traveling the E.T.O. and a bit of Czechoslovakia, emerging a first lieutenant.

All our sympathies go to John's family and friends.
