| Notes: Lawrence C. Grambo, known as Larry, was born 30 Jul 1923 in Kearny, Hudson, New Jersey.
His father was Lorentz C. Grambo, an immigrant from Norway. His mother was
Ida Wilhelmina, last name unknown, whose grandparents were from Sweden. In the 1930 U.S. census, the family was living in Kearny at 12 Schuyler Court. His father was a machinist for DuPont, located just down the street. In the 1940 U.S. census, Larry had completed 3 years of high school. He graduated from Kearny High School in 1941. Larry served in the US Army in Europe during World War II. Following the war he attended the Newark College of Engineering (now the New Jersey Institute of Technology), obtaining a degree in mechanical engineering in 1947. He later obtained a master's degree. In 1950 when his engagement was announced, he was employed at Industrial Tape Corp. as an industrial engineer. Larry married Elizabeth Jane Miller (Betty) on 22 Apr 1950 on the Douglass College campus, of which she was a graduate. They had a son and a daughter. Betty worked for Johnson and Johnson in the personnel department, and actually hired Larry as a mechanical engineer for the company. In the ten years before his retirement in 1989, Larry was the Director of Maintenance Facilities for Hoechst Corporation in Bridgewater, New Jersey. In 1984 he received a patent for the "processes for the electrolytic or electrophoretic production of coatings; electroforming". Larry was active in the community, as a member of the Westfield Senior Citizen's Club, and as a volunteer for the Children's Specialized Hospital in Mountainside. He was a member of the Atlas Pythagoras Lodge No. 10 of the Free and Accepted Masons in Westfield, and was 32nd degree Knight of the Scottish Rite Masons. Larry was an elder and deacon in The Presbyterian Church in Westwood, and a member of the church's Chapter 13 group. Larry's wife died in Aug 1989. Larry died in Summit Hospital on 23 May 1998, just a week after being diagnosed with a rapid-growing cancer. Funeral services were 28 May 1989 in the Chapel of The Presbyterian Church of Westfield.
