THEODORE DONSON Obituary

DONSON--Theodore Bertram. We are devastated by the loss of Theodore on February 19. He was 86. A beloved paterfamilias of boundless generosity, he lived for beauty, in art -- particularly his Rembrandt etchings -- in the natural world, in a pick-and-roll. Teddy is survived by his wife, Marvel Griepp, his children Nicole, Andrew (Erin), Emma (Cory), Oliver, grandson Silas, his brother Nathaniel. The family will receive visitors at home on March 1 and 2 from 2:00 - 5:00pm. A memorial service is planned.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
