Charles K. Okstein ’66

We lost Charlie to kidney disease March 25, 2006, in Phoenix, Ariz. He was 61.

Charlie was born in Cambridge, Mass., and graduated from Milton High. At Princeton he majored in biology and was a member of Terrace Club. He was indispensable to WPRB, serving as engineer, announcer, and classical music director. He roomed with Art Cohen in his senior year.

After Princeton, Charlie married Nancy Kornetsky, graduated from Tufts Medical School, completed a pediatric internship in Boston, and served a stint in the Army. He then moved to Mansfield, in rural Connecticut, where he lived and practiced pediatric medicine for 15 years. In 1990, he and Nancy moved to Phoenix, where he resided and practiced for the rest of his life.

To Nancy, his wife of nearly 40 years; his daughters, Susie and Linda '91; and the rest of his family, the class sends its condolences.
