John D.B. Gould, endearingly known by many as "Grumps," a retired trust banker, died peacefully on February 2, 2023 in Stuart, Florida. He was 92. He was the youngest of six children born to the late Rear Admiral Erl C.B. Gould, USN, and his wife, Katharine S. Laughlin of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Mr. Gould was a graduate of St. Paul's School (Concord, NH) and the University of Pennsylvania. He served his country during the Korean War as a member of the US Army in the Artillery Division of the 25th Infantry.
He worked for twelve years in the Philadelphia National Bank in the investment division and served as Vice President in charge of the municipal bond department. In 1969 he and his wife moved their family to Colorado where he initially worked as a stockbroker, then as an independent investment counselor before working at the First National Bank of Colorado Springs. When he retired, Mr. Gould was Senior Vice President in charge of the bank's trust division. In addition, he was a member of the boards of directors of numerous charitable institutions in the Colorado Springs area.
His passions included fly fishing and golf. He also became an accomplished watercolor artist, and his paintings adorn the walls of the homes of many friends and family members. He was not a fan of rhubarb.
Mr. Gould was married to Susan Singleton Porter of Lake Forest, Illinois in 1958. She died in 1999. He later married Leilani F. McCall of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2006. She died in 2014.
Mr. Goud is survived by three sons and one daughter; James S.P. Gould (Elisabeth) of Palm City, Florida; B.L. Porter Gould (Julia) of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; David B.L. Gould (Beth) of St. Petersburg, Florida; and Holly Gould of Edemston, New York. In addition, there are a total of seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
A private memorial service with private interment will be held in Colorado Springs at a later time.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Pathfinder Village, 3 Chenango Road, Edmeston, New York 13335 or Treasure Coast Hospice, 1201 SE Indian Street, Stuart, Florida 34997.
