To the members of the class of 1964:
I deeply regret to inform you of the passing last week of Allen “Skip” Grossman at his residence in Poulsbo, Washington.
Skip was admitted to the hospital in October for a minor gastric problem, and while the doctors were contemplating his release he had a heart attack. Twelve days later he was released to his home. After 5 weeks of therapy and walking 1.5 miles a day he was feeling much better.
On Tuesday, December 2, he went to bed and died sometime while asleep of another heart attack. Amazingly, he died 5 days after posting the above message to his classmates.
Pam, Skip's wife, relates that Skip was like a new person after attending the reunion in August. He really enjoyed reconnecting with his old friends - she described him as "buoyant" after the reunion.
If you wish, condolences may be sent to Pam Grossman, 19352 Front St., Poulsbo, WA, 98370, or to pjpgrossman@aol.com.
Rest in peace Skip. You are loved and remembered by several hundred classmates.
