George Danforth Gorin ’33

Body

George Gorin died June 28, 1998, in Louisville, Ky., after an extended illness. Following graduation, he went into the insurance business, a partner of the firm Davis, Gorin and Spickard. During the war he was assigned to the OSS and was stationed primarily in India and Burma. He was a history buff. He was a member of the Sons of Colonial Wars, the Philson Historical Group and the Louisville Country Club.

George married Elizabeth Woodcock, who died in 1972. He is survived by two sons, George D. Jr. and Lawrence W., a daughter, Elizabeth Schuhmann, and five grandchildren. We will miss this quiet, friendly classmate.
