George E. Immerwahr ’30
George died March 20, 2005, in Kenmore, Wash., after a brief illness. He was 95.
At Princeton, George won the William Marshall Bullit Prize in Mathematics and was a member of the University Orchestra and University Band. After Princeton he became an actuary serving in various government agencies including the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administra-tion. After World War II, when he was active with the Coast Guard, he worked for a life insurance company in Baltimore. In the 1970s he used his actuarial skills to become a demo-
grapher studying population growth for Johns Hopkins University, the US government, and the UN in many locations around the world.
While with the UN, he and his wife, the former Jean Moulton, whom he had married in 1939, lived in India and Sri Lanka for 11 years. After retiring, George and Jean moved to Kenmore, where he became a consultant for the demography department at the University of Washington. In recent years, he was involved in tutoring mathematics to the children of Kenmore Elementary School, where he became a much-loved figure.
Jean died in 2003. George is survived by three sons, George Jr., Donald, and John (his youngest son, Richard, died in 1968); five grandsons; and one great-grandson.
