Charles Hamilton Maddox Jr. ’45

Charlie Maddox died Sept. 12, 2008.  

Charlie entered Princeton from Choate and joined Colonial Club. He left college for service with the Navy aboard the U.S.S. Sims, a destroyer escort on convoy duty in the North Atlantic. As far as we know, he did not return to Princeton, but after residing in New York for a couple of years, he moved to Texas. In our 50th yearbook, he mentioned studies at Yale but did not explain whether he earned a degree from Yale rather than Princeton.  

Charlie worked for Humble Oil in Texas and had retired by the time we published our 40th yearbook in 1985. He was first married to Patricia Albertson in 1950. They apparently had three daughters, Cynthia, Charlotte, and Margaret, and a son, Bruce. By the time our 40th yearbook was published, Charlie was married to Carol and had added a daughter, Peggy. By the time of his death, he had been married to but subsequently divorced Ann. The class expresses its sympathy to the family.
