Donald Edmund Froude

Born on January 3, 1956, Don was the son of the late Donald and Beverly Froude. He graduated from Mater Dei Prep in Middletown, NJ where he was an outstanding athlete, particularly on the football field

where he was elected as co-captain in his senior year. Don received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA graduating in 1978. 

Don worked in the financial services industry for 37 years. He began his career as an advisor at Bache Halsey Stuart before moving on to Alex. Brown & Sons where he served in multiple leadership roles, culminating in his position as a partner and co-head of the Private Client Business. Following his tenure at Alex. Brown, he served as President & CEO of Quick & Reilly until 2006 when he

moved into the role of President at Columbia Management Distributors. He joined Legg Mason in 2008 as the Head of US Distribution before serving in his final role at Ameriprise Financial as a member of the Executive Leadership Team and President of the Personal Advisors Group. Don retired from Ameriprise in 2015.

He was the loving father of his daughter, Cameron Froude, and son-in-law, Salman Saghafi of San Francisco, CA and his son, Andrew, daughter-in-law, Kelly, grandson, Jack, and granddaughter, Alice Froude of New York, NY.

He loved living by the water at his home on Cape Cod, cheering on his beloved New York Yankees with his English Bulldog in his lap. Never one to shy away from a good time, Don loved cooking (and eating) delicious food, time spent on his boat, hosting his friends and family, late nights playing music and singing songs on the porch and generally getting into just the right amount of trouble. His warm spirit, generosity and unbridled enthusiasm will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
