Charles E. Heming ’48

Charlie Heming died at home June 6, 2003, of complications from pneumonia. He had a dodgy heart ever since a heart attack at 50. At that time he gave up golf and began dedicated running, including participating in six marathons. He also was an avid skier and former president of the Amateur Ski Club of NY, which was near his Fayston, Vt., home in the Mad River Glen ski area.

Charlie, a native New Yorker, was a graduate of Andover. He graduated from Princeton with honors in S.P.I.A. He was a member of Tiger Inn and went on to Columbia Law School, earning his degree in 1950. He and Olga Landeck Rothschild were married in 1949 and had three children. Following a divorce, he married Barbara Krueger Meisel, who survives him.

Charlie's law specialty was trusts and estates. He served a year as president of the NY State Bar Assn., working to improve new ethics rules and streamline the complex state trial court system. He was a partner in Wormser, Kiely, Galef & Jacobs since 1982. Prior to that he had his own firm, Damon & Heming.

In addition to Barbara, he is survived by his son, Michael; daughters Lucy Hutchinson and Amanda Minsky; and six grandchildren. The class has lost a dear and loyal friend.
