Notes for George Morris III DORRANCE
George M. Dorrance III, 63, of Villanova, a Royal Bank of Canada wealth manager, died Tuesday, Jan. 27, of leukemia at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He had been diagnosed with the disease last March.
A scion of the Campbell Soup Co. family, Mr. Dorrance was the son of G. Morris Dorrance Jr., former CoreStates chairman, who was eulogized at his death in 2011 as "a banker with a heart." His grandfather was a prominent surgeon.
Mr. Dorrance worked from an office at 6 Tower Bridge in Conshohocken as a wealth manager for RBC Dain Rauscher Corp., which provides banking services to corporate and governmental clients and investment advice and services to individual investors, according to a company profile.
Mr. Dorrance graduated from the University of Colorado and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
On Nov. 5, 1983, he married Suzanne Nina Tyson at the Church of the Redeemer in Bryn Mawr. The couple settled in Villanova.
Mrs. Dorrance said her husband fought hard to beat leukemia from the moment he was diagnosed on March 23, 2014. "He died so young," she said. "Treasure every moment."
Campbell Soup was started in the 1860s by Joseph A. Campbell, a fruit merchant from Bridgeton, N.J. In 1897, chemist John T. Dorrance, nephew of the company's general manager, Arthur Dorrance, invented condensed soup.
John Dorrance eventually bought out the Campbells, and the enterprise grew into one of the largest food companies in the world.
Surviving, besides his wife, are daughters Mary Carter Dorrance and Anastasia T. Dorrance Grillo, and a sister.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Church of the Redeemer, 230 Pennswood Rd., Bryn Mawr. Burial is private.
