George Farr III, a resident of the Upper East Side and Norfolk, Conn., died on Nov. 17. George was born in Akron, Ohio to George Farr, Jr and Grace Borneman on Nov. 30, 1935. He attended Kenyon College and served two years in the Counterintelligence Corps of the U.S. Army in Stuttgart, Germany. He attended Harvard Business School and worked on Wall Street as an investment analyst specializing in the pharmaceutical industry. 

George was an avid reader of biographies and Victorian literature, player of tennis and the Financial Times crossword and was fond of long walks in the city. He is remembered by his family and friends as a person who demanded little and gave much, especially in his dry sense of humor. 

He is survived by Joan Williams Farr, his wife of more than 50 years, son Gregory, daughters Elizabeth and Lucy, and seven grandchildren.
