George Gorin died June 28, 1998, in Louisville, Ky., after an extended illness. Following graduation, he went into the insurance business, a partner of the firm Davis, Gorin and Spickard. During the war he was assigned to the OSS and was stationed primarily in India and Burma. He was a history buff. He was a member of the Sons of Colonial Wars, the Philson Historical Group and the Louisville Country Club.
