The third of four brothers to attend Princeton between 1932-38, Carl died Dec. 29, 1999, in Oyster Bay, N.Y., not far from his home on Centre Island. He was 87.

Carl prepared for Princeton at Gilman School, where he was on the football, track, soccer, and wrestling teams, and was a member of the Debating Club. At Princeton he majored in biology, winning second group honors, joined Tiger Inn, played football, and was on the lacrosse team that won the national championship in 1935.

After graduation he spent a year at the U. of Cincinnati, four years at Cornell medical school, and a year of internship and another of residency at New York Hospital. By this time WWII had started. Carl married Barbara McKissock in July 1942 and two months later joined the Army Medical Corps. He resigned from the army, returned to New York Hospital for three years of residency in urology, and was ready to enter private practice. Carl joined the North Shore Medical Group, taught at both Memorial and New York Hospitals, became chief of urology at Glen Cove Community Hospital, and ultimately director of urology or a consultant at four other Long Island hospitals.

He leaves Barbara, three sons, two daughters, and 11 grandchildren.
