Geoff Nunes ’52

We have lost one of our best. Geoff came from New Rochelle High School, enrolled at SPIA, and joined Tiger. His dad was Kenneth Nunes 1921. He played football, rugby, and wrestled. He joined the Right Wing Club and the Rugby Club, was Tiger’s social chairman, and was on the Club House Committee. Geoff roomed with John McGillicuddy, Russ McNeil, Stan Cairns, Ed Burka, Al Benjamin, and George Tangen.

He served two years in the Navy and then went to Harvard Law School, graduating in 1957. His first two jobs were with New York firms, Breed Abbott and Shea & Gould. He then joined Lenox Inc. and in 1976 went to Millipore Corp. as vice president and general counsel.

Geoff served on a number of boards, including Reebok; and a flock of nonprofits, with special commitment to the Actors’ Shakespeare Project. He served for many years as a major presence on the class executive committee, where classmates came to know also his wonderful wife, Clare *79.

Geoff died Sept. 10, 2017. He is survived by Clare and his children Geoffrey Jr., Jake ’83, and Maggie ’85, as well as a great number of friends in the class.
