John W. Grange ’27

Body

John W. Grange died Dec. 3, 1996.

Jack came to us from St. Paul's School and was a member of the varsity hockey and golf teams and of Colonial Club. He was golf champion of the Springdale Golf Club in 1927. Upon graduation, he spent the rest of his active business life as a real estate broker on Philadelphia's Main Line. He retired many years ago and lived in poor health at Waverley Retirement Center in Gladwyne, Pa.

Jack married Shirley Putnam in 1943; she predeceased him by a few months. He is survived by his daughter, Shirley, and a stepdaughter, Eleanor York.

To them, the class extends deep sympathy in its loss of a handsome and popular classmate.
