Aristid Von Victor Grosse ’56

Body

Vic died on Oct. 24, 1999. He was a resident of Laguna Hills, Calif., for many years. Born in Chicago, Vic entered Princeton from the Haverford School, played soccer as a freshman, majored in chemical engineering, and was a member of Key and Seal.

After graduation, Vic headed to California, studied nuclear physics for a year at Berkeley, and earned his MBA at Stanford. Vic was with Ford Aerospace and Communications Corp. (later Loral) for 33 years. He married Veronica Jack, who was from Scotland, and had two children. What he enjoyed most in life was spending time with his family, especially sharing numerous international summer vacations. During retirement, Vic and Veronica continued to travel extensively - Europe, the US, Canada, and New Zealand.

Vic is survived by his wife, Veronica, a daughter, Shane, a son, Kimbray, and newborn grandson Kayden. The class extends its deep sympathy to the von Grosse family.
