Norman McClave Jr. ’34

Body

Norm McClave, who worked at Northern Trust Co. in Chicago from 1934 to 1977 and retired as a senior vice president, died Nov. 16, 2007, in Evanston, Ill., of complications from Parkinson’s disease. He was 94.

Norm served in the Navy from 1942 to 1945 in the Aviation Training Command.

Active in local affairs in Chicago and its suburbs, he served on the boards of the University Club of Chicago, the Illinois Children’s Home and Aid Society, and the King Home of Evanston, and was on the vestry of Christ Church, Winnetka. He was president of Indian Hill Club, where he was an avid golfer, winning the club championship twice.

Norm was a strong Princetonian, fond of his years spent there. He enjoyed reunions, particularly his 60th, when his grandson took photos of the class.

Norm was married in 1940 to Lucille Wright, with whom, after his retirement, he traveled to many parts of the world. Lucille, a 1937 Smith College alumna, died in 2005. Surviving are a son, Norman III ’65; two grandsons, Norman IV ’95 and Christopher; and a great-granddaughter, Claire.
