STORRS, Conn.—A 94-year-old retired professor has bequeathed $1 million to the University of Connecticut, calling it reimbursement of 30 years of retirement benefits the school has been giving to him.
John Lof, who once ran UConn’s computer center, invested carefully over the decades and says he wants to share his good fortune with UConn.
Lof, a Denver native, was an assistant professor of electrical engineering who came to UConn in 1952. He designated his $1 million bequest to the School of Engineering and also is leaving $100,000 in his wife’s memory to the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History at UConn.
