Richard W. Harrow ’63

Richard W. Harrow ’63 died of liver failure on March 5 in Vallejo, California. Dick graduated from Central High School in Omaha, Nebraska, where he participated in baseball, football, and glee club. At Dartmouth Dick majored in government and was a rugby player and Delta Upsilon brother. He attended law school for a year at the University of Minnesota before returning to Dartmouth for his M.B.A. in 1965 at Tuck School. He felt a strong desire to serve his country, stating that, despite the controversy of the Vietnam War, he did not feel his life was more valuable than others who were being drafted. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served as an officer in Saigon, Vietnam. After his active service abroad, Dick remained in the reserves into the 1980s, stationed at Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay, and would live the rest of his life in the Bay Area. He worked in various aspects of real estate, including his own company, Bay Area Signing Services. Always the athlete, Dick enjoyed tennis, golf, and, most recently, pickleball. A great joy of his last years was watching his grandsons compete in various athletic events. He is survived by daughter Lindsay ’00, son-in-law Hank ’98, and three grandchildren.
