John Randolph Maher ’64

Body

John Maher, who lived in Marietta, Ga., and spent almost three decades as an industrial psychologist, died Mar. 26, 1995, after a fierce bout with cancer.

John graduated from Garfield H.S. in Woodbridge, Va., where he finished first in his class and captained three sports. At Princeton he majored in psychology and was an active member of the Bridge Club. He honed his card skills and took his meals at Campus Club.

After graduation John received his PhD in social psychology from Columbia in 1968 and then spent the next 24 years at IBM with responsibilities for various aspects of employee relations. He then established his own human resources consultantcy in Atlanta.

John is survived by his wife, Myrna Stewart, his mother, Virginia E. Maher, and three children, Lisa Beth, Bradley Randolph, and Amylia Elizabeth. The class extends them our deepest sympathies. Those who knew John miss him.
