Charles Joseph Repka ’31

Charlie was born Nov. 15, 1905, in Budapest, Hungary, but lived for many years in Newark and Elizabeth, N.J. On Mar. 3, 2001, he died at the Willowood Nursing Home in Great Barrington, Mass.

He prepared at Newark Central H.S. and the Institute of Arts and Sciences. At Princeton he won the Princeton Club of New York Prize for greatest improvement during freshman year, Princeton Club of Newark Scholarship, Kimball Memorial Scholarship, and the Goodman Memorial Scholarship. He was a member of track squad, championship class football team, Cliosophic Society, Catholic Club, Catholic Choir, and University Club.

In the outside world, Charlie spent his first years teaching, first at Mount Pleasant Hall in Ossining, N.Y., and at New York Military Academy in Cornwall-on-Hudson. He then went with Prudential Insurance Co., where he remained until he became an actuary for the state of New York. By 1975 he had had enough of it, and retired.

Surviving is one grandchild, as far as can be determined. The class extends its sincerest sympathy to all members of the family.
