Charles G. Herbruck ’38

Chuck died Aug. 28, 2005, at the Bruening Health Center in Cleveland, where he was recovering from a severe stroke and subsequent heart attack.

He prepared at University School in Cleveland, and at Princeton majored in history and was coxswain on the freshman crew.

In 1942 Chuck joined the Lincoln Electric Co. in Cleveland as a bench hand in the factory. He rose to be the director of public relations in 1959, assistant secretary to James Lincoln, and director of marketing services from 1963 to 1969. He was also executive director of the Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation. After retiring from Lincoln, he formed the Herbruck-Mills Advertising Agency, which in 1979 became Herbruck and Foran, Inc.

In 1947 Chuck purchased a property on Lake Rosseau in Ontario that since then has been a haven for his family and friends. Chuck also belonged to several sporting clubs and was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church for 50 years.

He is survived by his second wife, Ann; sons Peter, David, Charles Jr., and Mark; stepsons David and Stephen Lawrence; nine grandchildren; nine step-grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. His first wife, Lois, died in 1987. The class extends its deep sympathy to all the family.
