George Andrew Csiky ’54

George Andrew Csiky ’54 passed away on June 27 in North Royalty, Ohio. George came to Dartmouth from São Paulo, Brazil, where he attended São Paulo Graded School. (In 1945 his family fled to Austria from Budapest to avoid the Russian occupation of Hungary and emigrated to Brazil in 1946.) George majored in physics at Dartmouth and earned an M.S. in physics at John Carroll University in 1970. Returning to São Paulo after Dartmouth, George worked as a production control supervisor for Ford Motor Co. before moving to Atlanta in 1959 to teach physics at a local college. He moved to Cleveland, where he worked for Republic Steel as a metallurgy technologist and then for the National Aeronautical and Space Agency as an aerospace engineer until the moon program was completed. From 1973 to retirement in 2003 he worked as an engineer for the U.S. Army at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. In retirement he theorized with a fellow physicist on alternative explanations of the theory of relativity and quantum physics phenomena. George had a passion for acquiring knowledge and sharing it with others. He wrote stories and poems and shared his knowledge of science and love of religion through articles in a religion and science magazine. George is survived by his wife, Kathleen, and sister Judith. His son, Peter, predeceased him.
