Esteban J. Karplus ’59

Steve died April 11, 2002. He was living in Scarsdale, N.Y., at the time. The cause of death is unknown.

Steve was born in Vienna, Austria. He prepared for Princeton at St. Andrew's Scot School in Olivos, Argentina, where he played varsity soccer and captained the softball team. At Princeton, Steve played freshman soccer and belonged to the Hispanic Club and Wesley Foundation. He left Princeton at the end of his freshman year to enter the Buenos Aires Law School.

We know little of Steve's career after he left Princeton. Our 10th reunion yearbook lists his residence as Buenos Aires, Argentina. An entry in our 35th reunion yearbook indicates that he was the senior managing director for General Sekiyu, an affiliate of Exxon Corp., and was living in Tokyo. Steve is survived by his wife and four children, to whom the class extends its condolences.
