Warren B. Davis ’58

Warren died of Parkinson's at home on Jan. 28, 2001. Warren came to Princeton from Culver Military Academy. He majored in electrical engineering and was a member of Quadrangle Club and the swim team. After serving out his ROTC obligation in the Army, he went to work for Bankers Trust Co., where he caught the wave of information technology, and rose to become director of systems programming, standards, and training. Warren became an avid skier and served as president of the Haystack Mountain Ski Education Foundation, which supports junior ski racing in southern Vermont.

In the late 1980s, while working at Chase Manhattan Bank, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, which led to his early retirement, giving him an opportunity to pursue his interests in history and genealogy and to spend more time with his family.

A rare complication of Parkinson's affecting the autonomic nervous system resulted in a stroke, which left him confined to a wheelchair, requiring constant care for the last several months. He nonetheless maintained his spirit, his interest in the world, and, most remarkably, his sense of humor.

Warren is survived by his wife, Sigrid; their daughters, Kimberly and Meredith; and son Gregory '00, to all of whom the class extends its heartfelt sympathy.
