George M. Grace ’44

George died in Tucson, Ariz., June 6, 2003, following a courageous bout with cancer.

George graduated from Princeton HS. At Princeton, he was active in baseball and 150-lb. football, was president of Court Club, and an economics major. He served in the Pacific as a Naval officer on an LST.

He had a 37-year career at Chase Bank, with lengthy stays in London and Moscow. A Princeton resident, he was active in community life, and was president of the newly merged borough and township school boards. He was class treasurer for 10 years and attended 26 reunions. He walked in the P-rade in 2002 and spoke about the P-rade days before his death.

Classmate Lew Kraft and Eve introduced George to Janet in 1973. George and Jan enjoyed music, travel, his children, and golf. After retiring, he made six trips as consultant to Asiatic republics of the former Soviet Union. In Tucson, he was president of the Princeton Club.

Predeceased by his son Kevin, he is survived by his wife; son Chris; daughters Martha and Padgie; and two grandchildren. The class to which he was so devoted shares in their loss.
