Henry Williamson Ghriskey ’34

Bill, who at 93 continued working as managing director of Trainer, Wortham and Co. Inc., a NYC investment-counseling firm, where he had been since 1978, died peacefully at home in Greenwich, Conn., March 6, 2006.

He was the husband of Flora Roberts Ghriskey, who died in January 2005; the father of Susie, Bill, Marcia, Timothy, and Gigi; grandfather of 16; and great-grand-father of four.

Before joining Trainer, Wortham, Bill had been president of Neville, Rodie & Shaw, and, before that, with First Boston Co. During World War II he served as a lieutenant commander in the Navy.

Described as a great investor and trusted counsel to his clients, Bill was a former chairman and president of the Investment Counsel Association of America, and he served on the boards of the Hartridge School, Pingry School, the Edgartown (Mass.) Yacht Club, and St. Barnabas Church. He was a member of Round Hill Club in Greenwich and New York Racquet and Tennis Club.

"Still working full-time," he wrote not long ago, "enjoying family, children, in-laws, all grandchildren."
