Edward Dexter Chapin ’43

Dex died June 11, 2000, of cancer at the age of 80.

Prepping at both Calvert and Gilman schools in Baltimore, he graduated from Princeton having been a member of Colonial Club. Army service followed during WWII; Dex fought in Germany and the Netherlands, later reaching the rank of lt. col. in the reserves.

Taking his law degree from the U. of Maryland in 1950, Dex concentrated on casualty and disabilities matters. He also worked for the Social Security Administration.

His major interest outside of work included horticulture and following the fortunes of both the Baltimore Orioles and Colts.

Dexter is survived by his wife of 55 years, the former Ruth Brooks; two sons, Peter and David; a brother, Bedford; and his four grandchildren.

To all, we extend our most heartfelt condolences.
