John Whitcomb Holloway ’26

John Holloway, a Chicagoan who moved to Asheville, N.C., when he retired in 1969, died Apr. 29, 1995, after a short illness at a medical center in Asheville. John prepared for Princeton at New Trier H.S. He loved sports and was on the football squad in our sophomore year and the tennis squad all four years. He was a member of Key & Seal. After college John worked in the securities field and spent most of his business life as an investment adviser.

With the outbreak of WWII John was commissioned a 2nd lt. in the USAF and was chief of counterintelligence at HQ 12th AF. He served in the Mediterranean theater, was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and received four battle stars. He held the rank of major on discharge. He was a reserve with the same rank in the Korean War.

John married Gladys Johnson in 1981. He had a happy outlook and, according to Gladys, in the ensuing years enriched the lives of many friends and those about him. He was always proud of Princeton. John is survived by Gladys, and three stepchildren and their families, to all of whom we extend our sympathy.
