Earl Chester Wenger ’39

Earl died Feb. 26, 2004, in Savannah, Ga.

He served with distinction as our class treasurer since 1997, first from his longtime home in South River, N.J., then from Savannah, where he moved in 2002 to be near his daughter, Leslie Wenger Fitzgerald. Leslie has since taken over his responsibilities as treasurer on behalf of '39.

Earl retired from Hercules, Inc. after a 40-year career in polymer development and management. At the time of his death he was a member of Skidaway Island United Methodist Church in Savannah. Prior to moving to Georgia he was a trustee of Conklin United Methodist Church in South River and was active in the music center there. He was a past president of the South River Historical and Preservation Society, serving as town historian for a number of years.

Earl married Doris Henry in 1941. She died in 1993. Earl is survived by their two sons, George and Richard '68, daughter Leslie, six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathy at the loss of a good man who served so many so well.
