Walter Johnson Borden ’50

JACK DIED at age 61 of a heart attack while jogging Sept. 26, 1990. He came to Princeton from Trenton H.S. with six classmates, following in the footsteps of his father, William S. Borden '15, and his brother, William S. Borden Jr. '45. At Princeton, Jack played freshman basketball and joined Dial Lodge. He received his A.B. at Muhlenberg College.

After Korean War service as a naval intelligence officer, Jack returned to his family insurance business, later assuming its presidency. Devoted to Trenton's historical preservation and civic concerns, he was a trustee of the Friends of the Free Public Library, Council on Human Relations, and Greater Trenton Symphony.

Jack had an ardent loyalty to Princeton, its traditions, scholarship, and physical beautyand particularly to the Class of'50, which he cheerfully served as a member of the Executive Committee and as reunion chairman. His diverse interests included tennis, mountain Climbing, classical music, foreign language and travel. He often enjoyed visiting "Roundhouse," which he designed and built on St. John, U.S.V.1.

The Class extends its sympathy to Jack's son, Douglas; daughters, Carol Lynn Terrell, Nina Kostinas, and Christine Ferry; brother, William; sister, Barbara Floyd; and 11 grandchildren. We will miss his quiet mien, friendliness, optimistic outlook, and good company.
