John Wise Moffat ’39

AFFER A LONG Struggle with Parkinson's disease, Moff died Aug. 2, 1990, at his home in Delray Beach. He had moved there in 1975, when he retired from Babcock and Wilcox Refractories as district sales manager. He had also served four years with the U.S.N.R. in the Pacific in WWII and was discharged as a lieutenant in the Navy.

Moff's lingering Illness prevented him from being with us at our 50th, which he had hoped to be able to do. But in our 50th Yearbook he recalled how much he had enjoyed our 30th which happened to coincide with the Princeton graduation of his son Duncan '69.

Moff married Anne Duncan in 1941 and they had five children: Elizabeth Anne, John W. III, S. Duncan '69, J. Gary '78, and Martin W.; and ten grandchildren. To Anne and all their family we offer our sincere sympathy and our continuing friendship.
