William Morris Cahn ’33

Bill Cahn, a warm friend and generous Princetonian, died at his home in Purchase, N.Y., Oct. 16, 2001. He was 90. He was a graduate of Exeter Academy, and a Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton. Bill served as a major in the 94th Infantry Division during the war. He was an investment banker. Bill is survived by his wife of 66 years, Peggy, whom many of us know well. Two of his sons, Peter and Stephen, died before him. In their memory he contributed to the Princeton Scholarship Fund. Bill is also survived by Bill III, five grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren, whom he adored. They all talk about the way he loved to tease them. He loved it when they came to visit, he would check up on their activities and watch them play. Bill and Peggy were world travelers. They traveled to every continent but Antarctica, and took voluminous pictures. He was an avid golfer. When he was not on the golf course, he was practicing his short game on the front lawn. We will certainly miss Bill in all our activities, and we send his family our deepest sympathy.
