David Agnew ’48

Dave died Nov. 12, 2007, at his home in Greenwich, Conn.

He was a graduate of the Buckley School and of Deerfield. At Princeton he played varsity soccer, was in Cottage, and earned a degree in politics. In 1945 he was in Italy with the American Field Service. He was our class treasurer from 1968 to 1973.

Dave’s true passion was conservation. He served for many years as a director of the Greenwich Land Trust, formerly as its president, and most recently as head of the acquisitions committee. A Greenwich resident for nearly 60 years, he was active in town affairs. He served on the board of Greenwich Hospital and was active with the Bruce Museum. Recently, he was re-elected to the representative town meeting.

During his business career he worked at the Greenwich Times, RCA, Diverse Graphics, and Stanwich Investments.

Dave was predeceased by his first wife, Hope, and by his siblings George, Gifford, Charles, and Madeline. He is survived by his wife, Jebb; his children David, Ann, and Lee; and 16 grandchildren. We have lost a man of great warmth and wit.
