Harris Metcalf ’39

Ace died Oct. 17, 2001, at home in Vero Beach, Fla., of lung cancer. After he retired in 1979 as a marine underwriter with the Providence Washington Insurance Co., he and his second wife, Nancy, who predeceased him, began to winter in Vero Beach and then made it their year-round home. Ace had joined the insurance firm in 1949 following his discharge as a captain after five years of service with the R.I. Natl. Guard Field Artillery, mainly in the Pacific. In 1950 he married Susanne Bradford. Though later divorced, they had one child, daughter Shepley. Ace is survived by his third wife, Mary, and by his daughter and granddaughter. We offer them our sincere sympathy.
