Body

George died Nov. 9, 2022, at his home in Naples, Fla. He was 86.

He came to Princeton from the Taft School. At Princeton, George majored in aeronautical engineering, doing independent work on supersonic aircraft design. He belonged to Colonial Club and his senior-year roommates were Bob Reed and Bob Hamilton.

After graduation, he worked for Cox & Co. in New York City before running his own business, Instrumentation for Medicine, in Greenwich, Conn. 

For many years, George and Sally owned a house on Block Island, R.I., where they enjoyed entertaining friends and family during the summer months. He and Sally moved to Bonita Springs, Fla., in 1998 and then to Naples in 2021.

George is survived by Sally; his three children from his first marriage to Joan Binney, Winston, Lili Crawford, and Diana Bushelman; six grandchildren; one great-grandson; and his sister, Audrey Patterson. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
