Charles Adcock Devinne ’48
Our honorary classmate, Charles Adcock Devinne died Mar. 1, 1999 in Middletown, Conn. Chuck was a graduate of the Choate school and had strong feelings of allegiance toward Princeton partly through his father, Charles DeWitt DeVinne '06. Chuck became an honorary member of our class in the 1950s, and continued his interest in the university and our class.
He spent most of his career in investment management, beginning at the U.S. Trust Co. in NYC and in later years as an officer of the Union Trust in New Haven, retiring in 1988.
Chuck's wife, Jane, predeceased him by two years, and he is survived by his two daughters, Peggy Perez and Kathy, and one grandson.
Our classmates, Bill Kolbe and Mosie Gates attended the memorial service. We will miss this outgoing, enthusiastic, and caring fellow.
