Allen N. Grossman ’68

Skip died Dec. 3, 2014, from a heart attack at home in Poulsbo, Wash. He was 68.

He prepared at Kenmore West High School in Kenmore, N.Y., where he was editor-in-chief of the yearbook and was on the football and wrestling teams.

At Princeton, he majored in history, ate at Cottage, and played football. Skip earned his law degree from Harvard in 1971 and then served in the Army Quartermaster Corps.

He spent 10 years in private practice before moving to electronic publishing with Dow Jones for 21 years, where he led business development and helped build Factiva, a research tool. In 2003, he returned to private practice in Princeton, specializing in software licensing, estate planning, and a range of business representations.

Skip was very involved in community activities in Princeton. He spent 10 years on the public school board, seven years coaching soccer, and two years on the Council of the Princeton University Community. He remained a season-ticket holder of Tiger football and a devoted fan of soccer, basketball, wrestling, and lacrosse.

To Pam, his wife of 45 years; and their children, Steve and Betsy; the class extends its deepest sympathy.
