Milton Grosvenor Potter Jr. ’49

Grove was stricken suddenly by severe chest pain while attending a class symposium with his wife, Lorene, on Oct. 17, 2003. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, but his condition remained unstable. He died of an aortic aneurism Oct. 18. He was 78.

Grove graduated from the Park School of Buffalo. He served as a bombardier in the Army Air Corps from 1943-45. While at Princeton, Grove majored in biology and was a member of Orange Key. He also worked as an interviewer for Audience Research Inc. He was a member of Charter Club.

Grove received his medical degree from Columbia in 1953. He was one of three brothers, all obstetricians and gynecologists, who were the sixth generation of the family to practice medicine. Grove served as chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Millard Fillmore Hospital in Buffalo. After retirement he had a second career as a ship's doctor.

In addition to Lorene, his wife of 50 years, Grove is survived by two daughters, Abigail Hutchinson '78 and Rebecca Glikbarg '83; two sons, M. Grosvenor III and David; 10 grandchildren; a sister, Molly Scheu; and brothers Ben and Paul '55. The class will miss him and extends its sincerest sympathy to them on the loss of our highly respected class member.
