Thomas Daniel Johnson Jr. ’40
Tom died on Jan. 26, 2000, in Sanibel, Fla. He prepared at Exeter and majored in chemistry at Princeton, where his activities included the choir and Glee Club. He was a member of Dial Lodge.
His business career began with DuPont immediately after graduation. He worked in research, production, and sales, holding various supervisory and management positions before becoming the director of the Freon products division in 1963.
His career allowed him to indulge his passion as a part-time farmer, raising beef cattle. He also continued to sing.
He leaves Virginia, his wife of nearly 55 years; two daughters, Julia Blanchard and Ann Vanneman; a son, T. Daniel III; and four grandchildren. To them we offer our sympathy.
