and a civic activist, died of a stroke Thursday, Aug. 11, at Bryn Mawr Hospital. In 1983, Mr. Dorrance became chairman of Core-States, which was created that year when PNB Corp. and Hamilton Bank of Lancaster merged.
Three years later, he received the Silver Award from the Wall Street Transcript, an investment newspaper, for his "definitive long-term strategic plan executed meticulously and decisively." Bipin C. Shah, a bank executive who designed Core-States' electronic-banking system in the 1980s, later told The Inquirer that Mr. Dorrance "was one of the finest CEOs, with a sixth sense to know that the world was changing. He let talented people do their thing." Mr. Dorrance joined Philadelphia National Bank as an assistant cashier in 1951.
By 1963, at 40, 4 he was the bank's president, and in 1969 he became chairman of PNB. G. Mon Under his leader- Dorrano ship, PNB implemented electronic G. Morn Dorrano banking with MAC (money access center) machines and worked with neighborhood leaders to finance affordable housing. Mr.
Dorrance had a personal touch, said his son, George. He sent cards to ill employees, and when he visited branches, he shook everyone's hand and remembered all the workers' names. In 1988, Mr. Dorrance retired from Core States, now Wells Fargo, after naming Terrence A. Larsen his successor.
"I'm very confident in our management team," he told The Inquirer. "They're bright, strong in their fields, and have worked together well. Any organization is going to get refreshed by change." Active in community affairs, Mr. Dorrance served on several boards, including the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the Crime Commission of Delaware Valley, the United Way, and Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools. In the 19705, he was chairman of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau.
He told The Inquirer in 1973 that he had set a goal of doubling the city's tourist income. "This is an extraordinary community, absolutely extraordinary. It has to marshal its resources and sell itself," he said. Tourism, he said, is free of the problems involved in bringing an industry into town, such as finding a site for a plant or persuading corporate executives to pay high city and state taxes. In 1958, Mr.
Dorrance became president of the board of American Oncologic Hospital, now Fox Chase Cancer Center. His father, George a physician and cancer researcher, had been the first ,4104. AUGUSTUS P. "AUGIE" on August 17, 2011, of Glen Mills PA. Beloved husband of Ida R.

In the early 19605, he and his wife built a vacation home on Great Exuma Island in the outer Bahamas, where he enjoyed snorkeling and sailing.
