George Robert Almond ’49

Body

Bob Almond died Feb. 21, 1996, in Columbus, Ohio, following surgery.

Bob prepared at Hill School and, before college, served in the Army Air Force. At Princeton, he majored in economics and was a member of Quadrangle Club. Following Princeton, he attended St. Ambrose College in Davenport, Iowa.

He went to work for the General Electric Credit Corp. in Bluefield, W.Va. In 1964 he was with the trust department of the Ohio Natl. Bank in Columbus. He married Maryann Brehm in 1953; they had two daughters and later divorced. He lived in Columbus until becoming one of our "missing" as of 1984.

Bob belonged to a number of organizations and was on the Ohio State Senators Committee. He kept in good shape and enjoyed playing golf and jogging in marathons.

At his death he was survived by daughters Elizabeth and Susan, and an older brother, Harry. We extend to them our sincere sympathies, and will always remember Bob and his brush haircut, bow ties, and friendly manner.
