Mr. Rapsavage was born on Oct. 29, 1926, at Center, the son of C.J. and Gunver Rapsavage. He attended Center School and graduated from high school in June 1944. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy on April 26, 1944, and flew in the Berlin Airlift before being discharged in September of 1949.
In June of 1950, he married Minnie Lipp at Center. They had two children, Rocky, born March 9, 1951, and Douglas, born March 6, 1952.
C.J. began his career in the newspaper business following his discharge from the Navy. He worked at The Center Republican, which was owned by his father, until 1956.
