Alfred R. Reppert ’40

Al’s health had been declining. He succumbed Feb. 15, 2012, on Sea Island, Ga.

He prepared at Mercersburg Academy and majored in geological engineering at Princeton, where he was a member of the boxing team and Tower Club.

Upon graduating, he joined the family-owned coal business until 1964. After being named to the board of directors of Union National Bank of Clarksburg, W.Va., he joined the bank full time as a vice president and was named president in 1962. He led the bank to rapid growth and was appointed a director of the Baltimore branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. In the 1980s he led in the formation of Union Bancorp (now a part of JPMorgan Chase).

Al is survived by his wife of 68 years, Elizabeth Long Reppert; daughters Elizabeth Reppert Abruzzino and Anne Reppert Williams; three grandchildren; and two great-grandsons. Al’s classmates extend their deep sympathies to all of the above.
