Edmond Garesche III ’52

Ed came aboard from St. Louis Country Day School and at Princeton, he joined Tower. He majored in sociology and worked as an insurance broker — his lifelong vocation — even as an undergrad.

After one year at St. Louis University Law School, he joined the Mercantile Insurance Co. until 1971, when he joined the Safety National Insurance Co., from which he eventually retired as president.

Ed died Sept. 18, 2016, in Naples, Fla. He lived there with his wife, Diane Raith Garesche, with whom he practiced his enthusiasm for golf, flying, and boating. He is survived by Diane and their daughters, Diane, Christy, and Laurie, to whom the class sends its sympathy.
