Robert Waddington Grange ’39

Bob died May 27, 2005, in Paradise Valley, Ariz.

After college, he was a Navy lieutenant senior grade in World War II, serving on a minesweeper near Okinawa and Iwo Jima. Having majored in electrical engineering, he pursued it loosely until age 35 when he made a career switch to insurance. He started and managed the R.W. Grange Associates Agency in Phoenix for Manufacturers Life Insurance Co. of Canada.

Away from his work Bob found that sports meant the most to him. Tennis, fishing, boating, and swimming laps were his pastimes both in Arizona and at his summer retreat in Friday Harbor, Wash.

Bob is survived by his wife, Cecily Collins; their four children, daughter Perrin and sons Jonathan, Geoffrey, and Todd; two grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. To them all, we extend our sincere sympathy.
