Eugene Roland Hack ’33
Gene died Jan. 28, 1997, at his home in Weston, Conn. He was 88.
Gene was born in NYC and grew up in New Rochelle, N.Y. He prepared for Princeton at Princeton Prep and Hun.
He roomed with his brother, Dave, for the first two years and then with Fred Hammond and Mac McKinnon. He was active in the Glee Club and was a member of Tower. He and his brother were well-known, well-liked, and respected members of our class.
After graduation Gene worked for Consolidated Edison and then U.S. Gypsum before joining Norden Bombsight, where he became personnel director.
In 1945 he married Edriene Adele Guckes, who was known as Ed. They moved to Weston, Conn., where Gene started his own real estate and insurance business at which he worked for the rest of his career. He was the head of the PTA for several years. He loved boating and was a member of the Norwalk Yacht Club and the Pequot Yacht Club in Southport.
Gene is survived by his wife, Ed, his daughter, Diane, his son, Eugene Jr., and three grandchildren, to all of whom we extend our sympathy.
