Charles J. Doyle ’48

Charlie died at his home in Somerset, N.J., Dec. 23, 1995, following several years with a heart ailment, which had become progressively worse. He was 70.

Shortly after his graduation from Dickenson H.S. in Jersey City, N.J., Charlie entered the Navy and served as a quartermaster with a PT boat squadron in the Pacific. While there he was selected for officer training and thereafter entered Princeton's V12 (NROTC) program in July 1944.

During his stay at Princeton he acted as company commander in V12 activities and was likewise active in the school's Catholic Club. In June 1946 he transferred to pursue a law degree. Charlie later started his business career with RiceStix, Inc., in NYC, prominent in the textile industry. Active in a managerial and administrative capacity for many years, he eventually retired to spend more time with his devoted family and his many friends.

Always an avid sports enthusiast, Charlie could be found rooting for his beloved N.Y. Giants on any Sunday afternoon during the football season. When not spending time with his grandchildren, he would tend to his extensive fruit and vegetable garden, where he spent many peaceful hours.

To his devoted wife of 47 years, Jean, his children Laurie, Stephen, and Kenneth, as well as his four grandchildren, we extend our sincere condolences.
