William Griffith McMillan ’56

Gee died April 30, 2017, at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. He was 83.

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.
