Charles William Casgrain II ’46

Charlie "Cazz" died June 22, 1996, at his home in Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich.

Charlie came to Princeton from Portsmouth Priory School, R.I., and entered the School of Engineering. In the Army from July 1943 to Aug. 1945, he served with the 69th Infantry Division in the Rheinland as a PFC. Back again at Princeton in Nov. 1945, Charlie married Merrill Canfield. They lived in the "Veterans' Project" until his graduation as BSE in June 1948. He was a member of Cottage Club.

The family company, Mechanical Handling Systems Inc. in Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Mich., was his career through 1970. He then became an executive with Astro Tune-up Centers, a Midwest franchise chain. He retired in 1989. His wife died in 1974. Charlie through the years enjoyed golf, bowling, and baseball.

He is survived by his son, Charles W. III, and daughter, Merrill (Mrs. John H. Dudley), and four grandchildren. To them the class extends its deep sympathy on our loss of a loyal classmate.
