Wayne F. Dimm ’50

Wayne died Oct. 6, 2014, in Chatham, Mass., after a brief illness.

A graduate of Exeter, he majored in economics at Princeton, was on the advertising staff of Tiger Magazine and belonged to Cloister Inn.

Wayne served in the Army, mostly in Germany with the Second Armored Division, before starting a long career with F. Schumacher and Co., a supplier of top-line materials for interior designers. He worked mostly in New York City, with early assignments in Miami and Los Angeles. Wayne met his wife, Peggy, in Los Angeles. They were married in 1959.

After he retired from Schumacher as vice president of marketing, Wayne divided his residency between Chatham and Palm Beach, Fla. It was in Palm Beach that he co-chaired our 19th mini-reunion in 2003.

Wayne was a member of several yacht clubs. He enjoyed clamming, boating, bridge, and croquet. He founded the Quason Croquet   Club, which played in his backyard. He wrote at our 50th reunion that he took a trip abroad each spring or fall “to stay aware of the rest of the world.”

We extend our sympathy to Peggy; his daughter, Susan; son Wayne; and three grandchildren.
