Joseph Roe Varley died peacefully surrounded by his family on January 15, 2018 in Evanston, at the age of 95.
He was a veteran of WWII, serving in the U.S. Army Air Forces on a B-25 bomber crew based in Kunming, China.

Joe graduated from the Taft School (1941), Williams College (Cum Laude, 1945), and Harvard Business School (1949).

He spent his business career in the Chicago area and was President of Varley Products, a manufacturing company located in Crystal Lake.

Throughout his life, Joe was an active civic and community leader. He was an officer of the Williams College Alumni Association of Chicago and President of the Winnetka Park District Board. He was an active member of Christ Church Winnetka.

Joe was also a longtime member and served on the boards of the Indian Hill Club, Hillsboro Club in Florida and the Coleman Lake Club in Wisconsin.

Joe was perhaps best known and loved for his friendly, outgoing nature, and his wonderful sense of humor.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Rachel; daughters Elizabeth Varley Camp, Katherine Roe Varley and Rachel Varley Brannan; four grandchildren; brother Richard L. Varley; and many friends.

A Memorial Service in celebration of his life will be held later this spring at Christ Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Joe’s memory can be made to:
