George Strawbridge Sr. ’33

ALTHOUGH GEORGE Strawbridge was referred to by the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER as stockbroker and golfer, most of us would probably have said steeplechase rider. George died April 3, 1990. A memorial service was held at St. David's Episcopal Church, Wayne, Penn.

George was born Sept. 21, 1909, in Philadelphia. He prepared at Hun. In college he was a member and president of ivy, and roomed with Al Whitman.

Before and after WWII, George spent some years with Campbell Soup in public relations, and as assistant treasurer. Later he joined the firm of Janney Montgomery Scott, where, at the time of his death, he was a senior V.P. and director. During the war, he spent four years in the Army, emerging as a major.

George was widely known as a steeplechase rider, and had been president of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Assn. He was also a trustee and president of the Margaret Dorrance Strawbridge Foundation, and member of many dubs.

On March 29, 1937, George married Margaret Dorrance. She died in 1953. On Sept. 15, 1956, he married Bruner Hunneman, who survives him. He is also survived by two children, George Jr. and Diana Norris, a stepson, Edgar Owen, a sister, Louise Hunsicker, and six grandchildren. The Class of '33 expresses its deep sympathy to Bruner and all the family.
