Stryker Warren ’35

Body

Stryker Warren died Mar. 14, 1996, in Clearwater, Fla., as a result of complications after surgery for an aortic aneurysm. He was 83.

Stryker prepared for Princeton at the Hun School, majored in modern languages, was manager of the Triangle Club on its trips, and was for four years the organist for Episcopalian chapel services. Later, at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, he continued his abiding interest in organ studies. He was organist for several Episcopal churches in the Bay Area, and belonged to the Masons for 53 years.

He had military service during WWII doing hospital administration work, returning to civilian life as a captain in the medical corps.

In business, Stryker worked in drug retailing and health insurance with McKesson and Robbins and Becton Dickinson. He retired to the west coast of Florida in 1985.

As to his marital status and family, Stryker wrote in our 50th-reunion yearbook: "First wife died within three months, two successive marriages each survived 16 years; society and I both benefit from my 'singlehood'." He is survived by daughter Cornelia Lincoln, sons Stryker Jr. and Henry E. II, sister Helen Carroll, seven grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. The class sends sincerest condolences to all.
