Lendall Pitts Warriner ’34

Len, of Bedford, Mass., St. Michael's, Md., and Ardsley-on-Hudson, N.Y., a minerals consultant and economic geologist who was also an avid birder, golfer, and joke teller, died Feb. 10, 2006. He was 93.

His business travels took him to every continent but Asia, every country in South America, and every state in the Unites States. Summers he spent with his family at Pocono Lake Preserve in Pennsylvania, "a great place," as he once wrote, "for visits from children and grandchildren."

Len was an enthusiastic classmate and loyal Princetonian. The Warriners' Princeton lineage began with Wood Rutter 1905, the father of Ruth, Len's wife of 61 years, who survives; as do Len's brother, John S., and his son-in-law, William P. Newhall '70, husband of Len's youngest daughter, Ibbits. Also surviving are Len's older daughters, Judy Walke and Tucker Smith, and Sarah Newhall '06, Ibbits's daughter, whose graduation from Princeton this spring Len had hoped to attend.

"I am content," Len wrote, "with the thought that my productive years have added modestly to the well-being of my fellow man and that in my children I have served the future."
