Garrick P. Grobler ’86

Garrick Grobler died in Washington, DC, on Nov. 3, 1999.

Garrick came to Princeton from Maryland's Eastern Shore, where he grew up sailing and hunting on the Miles River. He was a member of Cottage Club, Amnesty International, and the sailing and rugby teams. After graduating with honors from the Wilson School, Garrick attended the U. of Virginia school of law. He and his wife, Anne Margaret, were classmates there, and when she turned from the law to pursue a PhD in English at Princeton, Garrick supported her in every way and was delighted that a "former" Cliffie was now a Tiger.

Garrick spent his legal career at Ross, Dixon, and Bell, in DC, where he was a trial attorney of the first water.

In his sailboat, Kerstin, heading up a trail in Virginia's Blue Ridges, and running around the rocky perimeter of Monhegan Island, Maine, he was happy. His love for Italian art and Roman history was a constant.

Garrick is survived by Anne Margaret, his parents, Drs. C. Van Eyk and Judith Grobler, and his sister, Karen. Contributions to the Garrick Grobler '86 scholarship in classics, initiated by his roommates and classmates, may be sent to the attention of the recording secy.'s office at Nassau Hall.

To Anne Margaret and to his family, the class extends deepest sympathy.
