Andrew Gifford Agnew II ’33

Giff died Nov. 12, 1996, at Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, Conn., after a prolonged illness.

He grew up in NYC and came to college from Hotchkiss. He came from a family with long and extended connections with Princeton. In the Nassau Herald published at our graduation, he was able to list nine relatives who had attended or were attending Princeton.

He was a member of Quadrangle Club and roomed senior year with Don Johnson, Bud Crouse, Barney Koren, Charley Root, and Jud Corrigan.

He served in the Army Air Corps during WWII and rose to the rank of captain. After the war, he was associated with several investment advisory firms and worked for some time with Ward Howell and Associates, an executive placement firm. Giff had homes in Greenwich, Nantucket, and Vero Beach. He was a competent and enthusiastic golfer and worked at his game as long as he was able to do so.

The quality that stands out about Giff was his concern for others. A lifelong bachelor, he was a generous benefactor of many worthy organizations including the university, and, without many people knowing, he helped individuals in need.

Giff was a loyal alumnus and a faithful and active member of our class. He will be sorely missed.. He is survived by three brothers, George B. Jr. '32, Charles D. '38, and David P. '48, and one sister, Madelaine Dykema.
