Charles Cornell Dunlap Jr. ’37

Curry-addict Cornell "Cornie" Dunlap, son of "Bush" Dunlap '13, died Apr. 20, 1996, 20 years to the day after his first wife, Leona. He was buried next to her in Tallahassee, Fla. His second wife, Elsa, died Mar. 19, 1996, and was buried in Clearwater, Fla. They were described as the "bionic couple" (with new hips and knees).

Cornell had two children, Charles C. III (Tres) and Helen Sandra, both of whom survive, as do two step-children, Tom O. Muller and Nancy M. Currey.

At Princeton, Cornell majored in psychology and was on the freshman wrestling and baseball teams and in Cloister but left after his sophomore year. He roomed with Joe Matthews and Conner Young in Edgar Allan Poe's room. A particular friend of his from Princeton was Ken Sandbach.

Cornell worked for Lago Oil Co. in Aruba, Netherland Antilles. He was in the personnel relations department for 26 years and retired to the States and lived in Tallahassee. There he worked briefly at Florida State U., then Tallahassee Community Hospital. Weekends were enjoyed working in his garage on cabinetry projects or fishing. After marrying Elsa, the couple moved to Clearwater until Elsa's death.

Cornell treasured the friendships he made in Aruba and at Princeton. To those who remember him, his children thank them for making his life peaceful and enjoyable.
