Charles J. Weisul Jr. ’60

Chuck died Aug. 28, 2012, in Hillsborough, N.J., surrounded by family and friends, after a long, courageous battle with stomach cancer.

Chuck was born in Norwood, Mass., and prepared for college at Phillips Exeter Academy. At Princeton, he joined Tower Club and majored in history. He was also battalion commander of the Air Force ROTC unit and during his four years at Princeton received five ROTC awards.

After graduation, he served as an Air Force captain, troop carrier pilot, and flight commander during the Vietnam War. While stationed in Japan, he climbed Mount Fuji. Following his military service, he joined AT&T, retiring as vice president of training in 1987 after 22 years of service.

He was a member of the Royal Canadian Military Institute, an avid golfer and train collector, and loved to write music. He performed often as “The Blue Tora Express” at Lyons V.A. Hospital. Chuck was well known for his warmhearted nature and musical talents, singing country and folk songs and playing his guitar.

He is survived by Lynn, his devoted wife of 15 years; two daughters from a previous marriage, Kimberly Weisul and Kristen Gannon; his sisters, Diane Knechtli and Connie Lee; and four grandchildren. To them all, the class extends sincere sympathy.
