Alexander Robertson Ormond ’38

Body

Sandy died Apr. 6, 2004, at the La Posada Health Care Center in Green Valley, Ariz., after a long battle with renal disease.

He was the son of Archie H. Ormond 1908 and the grandson of Alexander T. Ormond 1877. He prepared at East Orange [N.J.] HS. At Princeton he was an English major, played on the champion lacrosse teams of that era, sang in the Chapel Choir, and was a member of Cannon Club.

During WW II he served in the Navy, starting in the Mediterranean but mostly in the South Pacific. Postwar he earned a law degree at Columbia U. School of Law. When he retired from the business world, he was vice president and trust officer of the Colorado Springs National Bank, now a part of the Wells Fargo Banking Systems.

Sandy is survived by his wife, Rosetta; daughter Elizabeth; son Kenneth; stepsons William and Phillip Foard and their wives; and 11 grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its sincere sympathy.
