Alfred Reppert

Alfred Reed Reppert, former chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Union National Bank of West Virginia, died Wednesday, February 15, 2012 in Sea Island Georgia. He was 92 and had been in declining health.

Mr. Reppert was born March 4, 1919, in Morgantown, West Virginia, the son

of Edmund Hare Reppert and Beulah Getty Reppert. He was educated in the

Flemington, West Virginia, public schools and Mercersburg Academy and

received a bachelor of science degree in engineering from Princeton University

in 1940. Upon his graduation, he returned to West Virginia to join the family

owned coal business, operating mines throughout north central West Virginia

until 1964.

In 1947, at the age of 27, he began his association with Union National when

he was named to the board of directors of The Union National Bank of

Clarksburg. In 1964, he joined the bank full time as vice-president, was elected

executive vice-president in 1969, and president in 1972.

During his 20 year tenure as chief executive, Mr. Reppert guided the bank

through a period of rapid growth and great change. Union National grew

steadily through the period, becoming the third largest bank in West Virginia in

terms of deposits and operating one of the largest and most respected trust

departments in the state. During that time, Mr. Reppert was appointed a director

of the Baltimore Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, a position

he held for 6 years. In the '1980's, he took the lead in forming Union Bancorp of

West Virginia, Inc. and was instrumental in negotiating its merger with Key

Centurion Bancshares, Inc., making Key the largest bank holding company in

West Virginia. He remained as chief executive officer for Key's northern region

until his retirement in 1992. Union National is now part of J. P. Morgan Chase

Bank, N. A.

Mr. Reppert is survived by his wife of 68 years, Elizabeth Long

Reppert, his daughters, Elizabeth Reppert Abruzzino and Anne Reppert

Williams, his grandchildren, Elizabeth Abruzzino McConnell, David Reppert

Abruzzino, and Stephen Reppert Williams, and his great grandsons, Frank

Andrew McConnell and John Wright McConnell.
