Hatboro-Horsham Alumni Association Co-Founder Mourned

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — The Hatboro-Horsham School District community is mourning the loss of an icon for whom the alumni association has also created an annual scholarship in his honor.

Wally Grummun's Life Celebration will be held from noon to 3 p.m. on Friday at the Horsham Township Community Center, 1025 Horsham Road, in the Horsham Township Municipal Complex.

Grummun's funeral service will be held from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday.

Jim Worthington (Class of 1974), founder and president of the Hatboro-Horsham Alumni Association, has created an annual Hatboro-Horsham High School scholarship in the memory and honor of Grummun, a 1968 Hatboro-Horsham alumnus.

"Wally was one of a handful of individuals who helped found the H-H Alumni Association in 1989, whose main mission is to award scholarships annually to graduating H-H students who demonstrate the spirit and hardworking qualities of being a Hatter but also need a hand up to pursue their educational goals," Worthington said.

The “Wally Grummun” Scholarship will be given with the same qualities in mind, focusing on students pursuing a career in early education, outdoor recreation, nature, etc., "all areas that Wally was personally involved in and passionate about."

Worthington hopes through donations in Grummun's memory to raise $25,000, which would make the scholarship self-sustaining. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
