Joseph G. Fogg Jr. ’41

ON APR. 2, 1992, Joe died at home in his native Cleveland, although he had been a resident of Naples, Fla., for a dozen or so years.

To know Joe was to enjoy him. He was a fierce competitor on the golf course and at the bridge table, with a wit especially quick if the joke was on himself,

and a penchant for coining new names for his friends or when a situation called for it.

After college Joe served humanity, from 1942 to the end of WWII, as a volunteer in the American Field Service. His unit, on active duty through Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany, ultimately evacuated the BergenBelsen concentration camp.

At war's end he returned to Cleveland, where he settled down to raise a family. He was cofounder of the successful financial printing firm, Judson Brooks Co., and as in college, earned the respect and affection of his associates. His talent and love of sports took him back to the golf course, where he won several tournaments. But he suffered grievous anguish over the Cleveland Indians, the hapless baseball team of which Joe was a minority owner.

In Dec. 1945 he married Elizabeth Jane Thomas. They raised four children: Joseph 111, Judith, Daniel and David, who combined have given them nine grandchildren.

During the past four years, Joe suffered from lung problems. Although these ills curtailed his activities, neither his sense of humor nor his love for life and family were affected. To Betsy, the children, and the grandchildren, the Class extends its affection and sympathy.
