Passing of John Groves (1951G)

Two weeks short of his 92nd Birthday.

We received the following sad news from family members Julia Walker, Joanna Groves and Charles Groves, son of John Groves (1951G):

I write to inform you that my father, John Groves, who was at Bishop's in the 1950s (Gray House) died peacefully in Rome on 28 October 2024 at the age of 91 (being two weeks short of his 92nd birthday). I would be grateful if you could include a notice in the Obituaries section of the ODU newsletter and on the ODU website, as applicable.

He will be sorely missed. 

We send our sincerest condolences to the family and will post a fuller obituary should we receive one.
