Charles Eugene Wagner ’45

Charles Wagner died Oct. 5, 2007, in Louisville, Ky.

Chuck entered Princeton from Mercersburg Academy, following in the footsteps of his father, Daniel Wagner 1904, and his brother, Stewart Wagner ’42. He joined Terrace Club, but his Princeton studies were interrupted by his service in the Navy Medical Corps as a pharmacist’s mate. He returned to Princeton and received a bachelor’s in biology in 1947, followed by a Ph.D. in zoology from Indiana University in 1954.

In 1949 Chuck married Peggy Ann Able. He joined the faculty of the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He was ordained a deacon in Calvin Presbyterian Church and shortly thereafter became an elder.

Peggy predeceased Chuck. He is survived by his three sons, Martin, David, and Paul, to whom the class expresses its sympathy.
