G. Palmer Moffat ’32

Bud Moffat departed this life Mar. 31, 1997, after suffering a heart attack. Although in declining health during his final year, his loyalty and concern for others led him to devote several hours every day to the care of his ailing wife in a nursing home.

Almost his entire business career was devoted to the life insurance business, which he pursued in NYC as a chartered life underwriter. After WWII, he lived in Scarsdale, N.Y., until he retired to Tucson in 1975. While he was in Scarsdale, he was active in community affairs and in the Congregational Church. In Tucson he was an avid philatelist, donating countless hours to the Postal History Foundation.

He began military service in WWII as a 1st lieutenant in the Field Artillery, served with the 16th Armored Division in Europe, was awarded a Bronze Star for Meritorious Service, and was eventually discharged as a lt. colonel.

Bud's wife of 60 years, Marion, died just a few days after him. He is survived by his daughter, Gail Hudson, two sons, George and John, and five grandchildren, to all of whom the class offers its sincere condolences.
