Rockefeller, Chairman of the Board of Trustees Waddell W. Stillman, Pres Published in the New York Times on 7/13/2004. Rockefeller, Laurance Spelman ROCKEFELLER Laurance Spelman. The Board of Trustees, faculty, students, and staff of The Rockefeller University deeply mourn the passing of our cherished friend, Laurance S. Rockefeller, beloved brother of our Honorary Chairman, David Rockefeller, and grandson of our founder, John D. Rockefeller. We join all Americans in saluting the enormous accomplishments of his unique and original life. His prodigious contributions to society cut across many fields and disciplines, including environmental conservation, recreation, ecological concerns, wilderness preservation, and leadership support for medical research and cancer care. He was a brilliant, risk-taking investor whose vision gave birth to the field of venture capitalism. Equally, he was a philanthropist of enormous distinction. His generosity, in company with his late wife, Mary, helped shape many of this country's premier academic, medical, and cultural institutions, including our partner in the Tri-Institutional Research Community, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. With David, he took great joy in the recent development of many collaborative relationships between Memorial Sloan Kettering and Rockefeller University, two institutions that they served with distinction in their pro bono lives. He was also an avid photographer, who funded archival photography projects at the Rockefeller Archive Center. The Center continues to be a vital resource for scholars and researchers throughout the world. We extend our heartfelt and deepest sympathy to his brother David, our Life Trustee; his children, Laura, Marion, Lucy, and Larry; his eight grandchildren, his 12 great grandchildren; and their families.
