Charles Arrowsmith Edward Muldaur Jr. ’56

Charlie Muldaur died Sept. 14, 1998, at his home in Eldred, N.Y. His father, Charles E. A. Sr. '31, uncle George B. '18, and cousin John S. Baker '46 also attended Princeton.

Charlie left Princeton in 1954 to help launch Sports Illustrated, and he contributed his energy and talents to numerous organizations and causes. He even ran a jeans business in Mexico. As a youngster, Charlie loved music, from classical to jazz and pop. Not surprisingly, in later years, he established and was the owner of Masters of Music, publishing and distributing music of many types. In the past 15 years Charlie reconnected with the class, cherishing his renewed ties with Princeton. He was our master of music at many reunions, Prades, and the Spirit of '56 concert -- arranging for wonderful music to grace our gatherings. Charlie did all this in spite of suffering from several serious diseases. His memorial service was held Sept. 18, 1998, exactly 65 years after his birth, and it became a sort of birthday party for a classmate who will be remembered whenever '56 gathers and enjoys music.

Charlie is survived by his children, Charles E. A. III, Raymond B., Christopher D., Mollie F. Hulick, Mary P., and Sheila M., his brother Geoffrey, sister Diane MuldaurDozier, and four grandsons. The class offers all of them its deep sympathy.
