Joseph Warren ’36

Body

Joe died Apr. 20, 1998. He was 85. A graduate of the Hun School, he left Princeton after freshman year and joined IBM, where he worked for some 35 years in management positions.

He retired in 1968, built a home at Harbour Island in the Bahamas, and wintered in South Bristol, Maine. During the last 15 years he and his wife, Sarah, lived in the winter on Man O War, another Bahamian island. Joe's favorite means of transportation there was his moped.

During WWII, he was a naval supply officer for two years. In 1946 he was released from active duty with the rank of lieutenant.

Joe was president for several years of the Harbour Island Day Nursery. His hobbies were tennis, flying, sailing, and traveling.

He is survived by Sarah, whom he married in 1938, daughters Christie Bartle and Nancy W. Moody, and two grandchildren. We of the class extend our sympathy to his family.
