Warner, Jr., Alden Young

Alden Young Warner, Jr. 91, of Farmington, CT, beloved husband of Anne Trumbull Robinson Warner, died on Thursday, March 3, 2022 of natural causes. Son of the late Alden Young and Caroline Hunn Warner, Aldy was raised in Farmington and Pine Orchard, CT and attended Rumsey Hall School, Phillips Academy Andover (1948), and Yale (1952), where he played hockey and was a fouryear star of varsity lacrosse. After service in the U.S. Air Force and a stint in manufacturing, he took up his career as an investment manager at Smith Barney Harris Upham (now Morgan Stanley) in Hartford, from which he retired in the mid 1990's. Aldy was a talented nature photographer, quietly proud of being often published by The Nature Conservancy and of having a one-man show at the Yale Forestry School in 2002. A lover of jazz, opera, and classical music, he was also a lifelong athlete, cycling the byways of New England well into his 80's and hiking the mountain ranges of the world, from the Rockies, Andes and Himalayas to his beloved Swiss Alps, always with wife and best friend Annie by his side. A superlatively graceful skier, any family member could pick him out on a crowded slope from halfway across a valley, carving perfect turns as he floated downhill. In addition to his wife, Aldy is survived by three sons: Lucius Robinson Warner of Crested Butte, CO, and Valle Bonito, Chile, Alden Young Warner III and his husband Peter Reed of New York City and Copake, NY, and Peter McLane Warner and his wife Sallee of Southport, Tasmania; a brother Seth Coffing Warner of Litchfield, CT; a much-loved granddaughter Molly McLane Warner, of Palm Beach, Australia; and two step-grandchildren, Nell and James Spence. Beside his parents, he was predeceased by brothers Tucker Hunn, Jonathan Pierpont, and Bruce Byerly Warner. At Aldy's request, there will be a family graveside service at a later date, with burial in Riverside Cemetery, Farmington. The Carmon Funeral Home & Family Center of Avon is caring for the arrangements. Memorial Donations may be made to The Nature Conservancy or to any charity of your choice.
