History
- He died at 93.
- He never married and lived all his life in an apartment in a hotel in Switzerland.
- He did not like his family except the Éles relatives whom he always helped.
- He established the Rumanian petroleum industry for which he received Rumania’s
highest honour. Steaua Romana - He had good contacts: When Gyorgy Éles (Apu’s brother in law) was taken to a
concentration camp the manager of the Swiss Banking Corporation came
personally to Rumania to get him out of detention. Gyorgy came back in a very
short time, so his life was not in peril. - When Apu married, all their furniture (which was custom made) was bought with
money gifted by him.
