Sales and marketing expert Paul Kogge died Jan. 5, 1998, leaving his wife of 57 years, Barbara (whom he married at Lawrenceville), daughter Pamela, son Charles Jr., and seven grandchildren.

He was a dairy representative concentrating on dairy container sales and later product manager, developing and coordinating market-development programs for the dairy, soft-drink, and brewery industries; he was also in the forest products division. His entire family were trout fishermen.
