George Webb Constable ’33

George Constable died of heart failure in a hospice in Towson, Md., on Jan. 19, 2002. He was 91. George, who lived for almost 50 years on a 125-acre farm in Monkton, Md., was also a brilliant lawyer who practiced in the firm of Wright, Constable and Skeen. He was a constant supporter of Catholic institutions all his life and a 40-year member of the boards of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Good Shepherd Center, and the College of Notre Dame of Baltimore.

George was a Renaissance man who enjoyed sailing while reciting Chaucer from memory and giving instructions to his crew. He had a quiet sense of humor and a penchant for puns. He wrote a beautiful book of cantos. George loved to farm, and landscaped a stream with stone tablets with biblical sayings. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Elizabeth, five children, 19 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
