Joseph J. H. Applegate ’39

WHILE DRIVING home to Pennington after a visit to Atlantic City in late July, Joe suffered a stroke. He was taken back to Atlantic City Medical Center, where he died Aug. 1, 1990. Joe's career was in design and engineering. After his retirement from the Homosote Corp. of Trenton, he continued his membership in the Engineers Club of Trenton, with which he was affiliated for 37 years, 19 of those years as executive secretary and director. He was also a member of the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. In retirement Joe traveled widely and also took great pleasure in watching his family progress.

Joe is survived by his friend Virginia Taffa, who was with him at the time of his fatal stroke; his son, Edward; two sisters, Mildred Morgan and Doris Altemus; and two grandsons, Edward and William. We share their loss and offer them our deep sympathy.
