John Manfred Sartorius ’42

John died Mar. 23, 1998, in Quogue, N.Y., his summer home for many years, and after retirement in 1980, his permanent home. He had been in poor health for many years.

John joined the class from Hill School, majored in chemistry, graduated with honors, and was a member of Sigma Xi and Cap and Gown Club. During the war he served in field artillery in the European theater, receiving three battle stars and the Bronze Star and attaining the rank of captain.

Following the war, John joined the pharmaceutical firm Reed & Carnick in Jersey City, becoming assistant secretary and, subsequently, executive v.p. In 1952 he moved to Union Carbide Corp., initially as product manager and later in communications planning. He retired after 28 years because of his health. His summer home, in Quogue, was a great source of pleasure as he always enjoyed sailing and golf.

To his wife, Nancy; to his four sons, John Jr., Peter, David, and Scott; and to his grandchildren, the class extends its most sincere sympathies.
