Thomas R. Lincoln ’37

LAWYER, SHIPPING EXECUTIVE and author of our 50th yearbook, Tom Lincoln died Aug. 4, 1993, in Greenwich, Conn., of respiratory failure. He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Victoria; his former wife, Carolyn Ream Lincoln; a son; four daughters; a stepson; a stepdaughter; eight grandchildren; four step-grandchildren; and a brother, Charles.

At Loomis, Tom was into football, track, golf, and wrestling. At Princeton, he majored in history, was on the freshman football team, and was a member of Colonial. He took his law degree at Virginia and was admitted to the New York bar in 1941. He worked with Milbank Tweed before serving almost four years in the navy. He applied for active duty, and went on shore patrol out of New London, but spent most of his time with the aviation planning division in Washington. He emerged as a full lieutenant. After being with Shearman & Sterling specializing in ship financing, he took a job with Aristotle Onassis for 35 years, becoming president of the U.S. companies, with frequent and prolonged business trips to Europe. He was a resident of Greenwich for more than 50 years. Tom was noted for his biting comments. For instance, in 1944: "1 took one quick and interesting trip to Pearl Harbor. It looks a lot like Hoboken, N.J., and not at all romantic."

All our sympathies go to Victoria and the numerous progeny.
