Warren Lott Cruikshank ’38

Warren Cruikshank died June 9, 2001, at Sun City Center in Florida after a brief illness. He was 84.

Warren prepared for Princeton at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. At Princeton, he lived in Blair Tower with Dick Shaffer, Doug Bellin, and C. H. Huvelle, classmates who became lifelong friends.

After college, he joined the Cruikshank Co., founded in 1794 by his great-great-great-grandfather, William Cruikshank. For many years he was responsible for the company's operations, and oversaw the firm's 1969 merger with Horace S. Ely & Co., creating Ely-Cruikshank Co., Inc.

Warren was a civic leader both in NYC and Maplewood, N.J., where he lived with his family for many years. He served on the board of governors of the Princeton Club of New York, and helped secure the W. 43rd St. property when the club relocated. He also served as vice president of the Class of '38, and was on the Elm Club's board for more than a quarter-century.

Warren is survived by his wife, Kathleen Holmes Cruikshank, his daughter, Gail Livingstone, sons Jeffrey L. and Peter L., and nine grandchildren.
