Charles Edward Entenmann, who helped turn his
family's bakery into a national brand, died in Florida at age
92.
Entenmann died Feb. 24, according to his funeral home obituary.
Charles E. Entenmann was a grandson of William Entenmann, a German
immigrant who founded a bakery in Brooklyn in 1898, delivering baked goods door
to door.
The business moved to Bay Shore, and the founder's son, William
Entenmann Jr., took over. William Jr.'s wife and three sons inherited the
bakery after his death in 1951.
After expanding Entenmann's nationally in the 1970s, the family
sold the business to pharmaceutical company Warner-Lambert. The brand has been
sold several times since then and is now owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA.
Charles Entenmann, known as Charlie, moved to Florida in the 1980s
and founded Biolife LLC, which created technology to help seal wounds, his son
said. He also supported and conducted research on cold fusion.
Bimbo Bakeries USA, which now owns the Entenmann's brand, offered condolences to the family in a statement:
Bimbo Bakeries USA sends its
condolences to the Entenmann family on the passing of Charles Entenmann.
Charles was instrumental in turning the Entenmann’s brand into a household name
and we will continue to build on the mission and legacy his family established
more than 120 years ago.
