William T. Pomeroy Jr. ’55

Bill died Aug. 9, 2005, at home in East Liverpool, Ohio, after a brief illness.

He joined our class from Choate, departing in 1954 and later graduating from the University of Pittsburgh. Following three years' shipboard service in the Pacific as a Naval officer, Bill returned to Ohio and a successful career in the manufacture of chinaware, an industry native to the area.

He was a lifelong resident of the eastern Ohio city, and was an active leader of Trinity Presbyterian Church and the East Liverpool YMCA, and served on the East Liverpool City Hospital board.

Bill is survived by Josephine, his wife of 45 years; daughters Meg Pomeroy and Natalie Koos; sons Robert, William III, John and James; and three grandsons. The class extends deepest sympathy to all the family.
