Born Jan. 27, 1934, in Chicago, Gee grew up in Highland Park, Ill., and lived most of his adult life on the North Shore. He was a graduate of Lake Forest Academy and Princeton, and earned an MBA from Northwestern University. Gee’s professional career spanned more than 50 years and included positions as partner at Touche Ross & Co., CFO of the Reading Railroad, and founder of McMillan Inc., an independent business-valuation firm.
Gee was a quiet but thoughtful man who enjoyed hunting with his springer spaniel, following the stock market, and telling stories. He had a subtle but vibrant sense of humor and was a trusted confidant to many of his peers. His family and friends will remember him as a voice of reason that could be trusted to listen quietly and offer sound advice in even the most difficult of times.
He is survived by his wife, Phoebe; and children William ’86, Marcia, Sally ’92, and Phoebe ’93.
