Early life

Roosevelt was born on November 14, 1924 to George Emlen Roosevelt and Julia Morris Addison,[2] the sister of James Thayer Addison.[3] Through his father he was a first cousin twice removed of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt attended Philips Exeter (1943)[4] and later, Harvard University, where he participated in crew.[5]

Career

From 1942 to 1946, he served in the United States Coast Guard, and was discharged from the Army Reserve Field Artillery in 1955 after 8 years of active reserve duty.[6]

He participated in the 1948 Olympics and became a gold medalist in the 1952 Olympics in the 6-meter class,[7][8] he was later a member of the International Olympic Committee who advocated removing political motives from the games, criticizing the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics and the banning of South African athletes.[9]

After the Olympics, he became a partner of Dick & Merle Smith, an investment brokerage firm in New York City that was created as part of the break-up of Roosevelt & Son due to the passage of the Glass–Steagall Act in 1934. He also served as a trustee of the Union Square Savings Bank and was a director of Fundamental Investors, Inc., also in New York.[6] He later served as a vice president of Sterling Grace & Company.[10]

Personal life

He was twice married, first in 1946 in Providence, Rhode Island, to Florence Madeleine Graham (d. 1991), the daughter of E. W. Sterling Graham of Pittsburgh,[4][11] and was descended from William Bradford, the 2nd Governor of Plymouth Colony. Before their divorce in 1955,[12] they had three children together:

• Nicholas Paul Roosevelt (b. 1949)[13]
• George Emlen Roosevelt III (b. 1951)[10]
• Robin Addison Roosevelt (1954–1999)[14][15]

After their divorce in 1955, she married later that same year to Eric Ridder (1918–1996), the publisher of The Journal of Commerce,[16] who also won the Gold medal in sailing with Julian in 1952.[17][18] Roosevelt married second to Margaret Fay Schantz, who was also divorced, from Donald William Scholle,[19] in 1957.[20] She was the daughter of Dr. Charles W. Schantz and was an alumna of the Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, New York.[6] Together, they had:

• Fay Satterfield Roosevelt (b. 1959),[21] who married Julian Potter Fisher II, in 1985.[22]

In March 1957, his mansion on Center Island on Long Island, New York was ruined by a fire.[23]

Roosevelt died of liver cancer on March 27, 1986, at Glen Cove Hospital in Manhasset, New York, not far from his home in Oyster Bay.[10]
