Carl K. Leibert ’49

Carl, who had been in poor health for several years, died April 15, 2005. He was 79.

Carl prepared at Bethlehem (Pa.) High School, and at Princeton majored in electrical engineering. Carl was on the varsity football team. He served in the Navy as an aviation cadet during World War II.

Carl spent 39 years as a sales engineer with General Electric Co. in Allentown before retiring in 1986. He enjoyed music and tuned pianos as an avocation after retirement. Carl was very active in his church and in a group that tried to interest high school students in scientific careers. He enjoyed active sports throughout his life.

He and his wife, Elizabeth, who survives him, would have celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary a week after his death. He is also survived by a son, David, a daughter, Karen Leibert Forsman, and two grandchildren. The class has missed Carl's presence at class events for a number of years due to his poor health, and shares with his family the loss of this dedicated gentleman.
