Tom Farahy ’50

Tom Farahy ’50 (2/01), also a 1937 graduate of Delaware Willis High School, was a long-time employee and vice president of C.J. Wilson, of Course, and a member of the First Presbyterian Church where he was a past trustee and elder. Tom was a WWII member of the Coast Guard and past commander of the Raymond B. Austin American Legion Post. Eve and Bob Mauck paid their respects at Tom’s visitation. They had known Tom’s wife Ida but had little contact in recent years. “The only other Beta we saw was Dick Hindman and he confirmed that I had indeed pledge Tom in the fall of ’45. I appeared at the service wearing a Countess Mara tie which Tom had sold me. Since Wesleyan days, I have never bought a suit anywhere but from CJ’s and Tom. He could remember every suit he had sold me.” Brother Farahay will be remembered by many with the same experience at CJ’s as that of Brother Mauck. We will miss him.
