Lawrence Edward Maciver ’52

Body

Larry MacIver died of a heart attack in his Milwaukee home on Jan. 2, 2001. His memorial service was in the city's Immanuel Presbyterian Church. Our class was represented by longtime friend Chips Chester, who prepared most of this memorial.

A graduate of the Milwaukee Country Day School, Larry spent a year at Choate before entering Princeton, where he majored in economics, and was president of Elm Club.

After graduation, Larry attended naval OCS at Newport, R.I., and served for three and one-half years in the Pacific. He and Ann Ross were married on Feb. 8, 1958.

Larry's professional life was spent exclusively in the insurance business. After several years with small fire and casualty companies, he joined Allen Bradley Co., from which he retired in 1988 as risk manager. He found major satisfaction in community and church work, especially the Wisconsin Marine Historical Society, the Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation, and Jarambee Community School. Larry served in the major leadership roles of his congregation, and was a delegate to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church.

Larry is survived by Ann, his daughter, Janet, his son, Ross, and three grandchildren. The class extends its deepest sympathy to the entire family.
