Warren C. Wachs ’42 *49

Warren died Nov. 6, 2017, at his residence in San Francisco. He was 97.

He was born July 22, 1920, in Lexington, Ky., to Fed B. Wachs Sr. and Jeanne F. Wachs.

Warren graduated from the Lawrenceville School and Princeton. He served in World War II in the Pacific theater and afterward returned to Princeton to earn a master’s degree in architecture.

He practiced architecture in San Francisco, retiring in 1983 to follow his passion as an antiquarian. He was a collector of 18th-century English furniture and Asian ceramics, and was a great aficionado of Baroque music. He donated much of his collections to museums across the country.

The family is very grateful to the staff at the Sequoias Health Center for their excellent care, and to Liz Strand, who loyally assisted Warren for the last decade of his life. A memorial service was held Dec. 12, 2017, at the Calvary Presbyterian Church in San Francisco.
