Joseph P. Farrell ’35
Joe Farrell died Dec. 9, 1995, at his home in Washington, D.C., of complications following a stroke. Joe grew up in WilkesBarre and prepared for Princeton at Canterbury School. He earned his numerals in freshman baseball and played scrub football. He belonged to Court Club and sang in the glee club.
After graduation Joe received a law degree from Temple Univ. He was a field artillery captain during WWII in the Pacific theater, and remained in the Philippines to help the War Damage Commission. He returned to Washington to work with the Office of Price Stabilization, the Agency for International Development, and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
Joe married Pauline Phillips in 1954, and he and Polly traveled extensively after his retirement from the FHLB in 1975. He was active in volunteer church work for many years, and this ceased only when health problems prevented his further involvement. Sincere sympathy is extended by the class to Polly and to Joe's sister, Margaret Collins.
