Peter M. Torrey ’49

Pete died on Oct. 30, 2001, of cardiac arrest. He was 74. He was born in London and prepared at Phillips Exeter. At Princeton he majored in history, was a member of Tiger Inn, and on the soccer and squash teams.

After a short stint on Wall Street Pete decided that stocks and bonds were not for him, and he found a position with Lord and Taylor, where he stayed for 26 years and rose to executive vice president. He then was president of Bonnie Doon Hosiery Co. for 13 years. An avid golfer, Pete also served as treasurer for the Greenwich Hospital Auxiliary, and as a director of the Silo Hill condominium association.

Pete was predeceased by his wife, Barbara, and a daughter, Alison. He is survived by a daughter, Lynn Boyd, two sons, Stephen and David, and six grandchildren. The class extends its sincere sympathy to them all.
