married Elizabeth “Liberty” Aldrich.

partner and investment banker, and by
1987 was managing $150 million in roughly
30 accounts, mostly held by individuals,
as reported by the
Washington Post
. In
1990 the business was acquired by Fi-
duciary Trust Co. International of New
York, where he continued to work as a
consultant and senior portfolio manager
until 2004.
During his five years in Pittsburgh, Mr.
Redmond played semiprofessional ice
hockey and found his passion for golf,
which he played into his nineties. He
served as president of the Blood Research

Columbia Hospital, and was a member of
the Metropolitan Club, the Chevy Chase
Club, the Burning Tree Club, the United
