Thomas Howard Moore Jr. ’36

Body

Tom died Nov. 4, 1996, in Latrobe, Pa. He was 85. After graduating from The Hill School, at Princeton he won his class numerals as a member of our undefeated freshman football team. He was a member of Charter Club.

He left Princeton at the end of his sophomore year and was first associated with Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC. He then spent many years as a field representative for Texaco in its Caribbean operations. In 1946 he was president of the American Chamber of Commerce in the Dominican Republic. He ended his career as a manufacturer's agent in Haiti.

During WWII, he served for three years as a member of the Petroleum Supply Committee for Puerto Rico under the direction of the U.S. Government Petroleum Administration for War.

Tom is survived by sons Thomas H. III, Donald N., and Robert H., daughter Margaret Haloun, and five grandchildren. He was predeceased by his son Philip L., who died in 1995. Over the years we did not see much of Tom due to his living overseas. We do know he had good feelings for Princeton and this class.
