Graham Jones ’29

GRAY DIED on Aug. 30, 1989. He prepared for college at Kent. At Princeton he played freshman and varsity football, freshman and varsity hockey (captain of both), and freshman golf. He was on the Undergraduate Athletic Committee and was president of the Right Wing Club. He was in Ivy and his roommates were Johnny Jones, Johnny Stewart, H. F. Taylor, and F. L. Sullivan.

Gray started his notable banking career with National City, where he worked until 1933, when he went with Clarke, Sinsabaugh & Co. In 1936 he joined Cooley & Co., a division of Burnham & Co., the predecessor of Drexel, Burnham & Lambert. He remained there as a general partner until his retirement in 1986. He was vice-chairman of the National Assn. of Securities Dealers and a director of the Phoenix Fire Insurance Co. His public service included a directorship of the Newington Children's Hospital. Until illness intervened three years ago, Gray skated, fished, and played tennis. He was active in the Hartford Club, the Hartford Golf Club, the Links, and the Hartford Tennis Club.

In 1930 Gray married Helen Stewart, sister of our Johnny Stewart, and she survives, as do their children, Graham E. Jones '55 and Judith (Mrs. Orville E. Babcock III). The class extends sincere sympathy to Gray's family.
