James Ferdinand Kieckhefer ’39
Jim died Dec. 7, 1998, in Milwaukee, where he had lived all his life. His career had been in investment banking, and he retired in 1974. In retirement he continued his lifelong interest in his community, serving as director or trustee of the Boy's and Girl's Club of Greater Milwaukee, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, and the Milwaukee Zoological Society. He was a member and vestryman of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church.
Jim lost his wife, Judith Ridgway, several years ago, but their six children all survive, as do five grandchildren, whom he regarded as highlights of his life. To all his loving family we extend our sincere sympathy.
