Charles Naumann McCloud Jr. ’34

Body

Mac McCloud, who conducted a private practice of internal medicine in St. Paul, Minn., from 1946 until he was incapacitated by two coronaries four months apart in 1967, died Dec. 10, 1998, it has only recently been learned. He continued to work part-time after the coronaries as a medical consultant, then retired in 1975.

As an undergraduate, Mac was the secretary of his eating club, and years later he wrote a classmate, "I have very happy memories of my years at Princeton. We had an outstanding class -- a great bunch of guys."

Mac served in WWII with the Army for two years, nearly all of which time with the 7th Army's 132nd Evacuation Hospital overseas, in France and Germany. He was awarded two Battle Stars and was honorably discharged in Aug. 1946, "the second best day of my life," he called it.

"The best day of my life" was July 1, 1940, the day of his marriage to Deborah "Deb" Thompson, who survives. Also surviving are two daughters, Geraldine and Janet. To them we offer belated but sincere condolences and sympathy.
