“Hugh” died Nov. 29, 2013, at home in Venice, Fla.

He entered Princeton from Montclair (N.J.) High School. He was a member of the rifle team, ROTC, and Cottage Club. He majored in biology.

By 1954, Hugh had received a medical degree from Columbia and married Wilma “Billie” Grove. After interning in Miami, he was offered a residency at Walter Reed Hospital that lured him into the regular Army. He “repaid” the Army with tours at West Point, where he doubled as the Army team physician, and at Fort Riley, Kan.

Vowing never to shovel snow again, he returned to Miami, where he started an ear/nose/throat and allergy practice. In 1982 he moved the practice to Venice. After retiring in 1994, he did locum tenens annually for other physicians. He was a respected author on the practice of allergy and taught in more than 80 national workshops.

Hugh enjoyed fishing and being on the water, especially at his lakeside retreat in North Carolina. He was a talented artist and accomplished pianist, and loved to play cowboy songs on the guitar. He and Billie, who died in 2010, frequently attended our mini-reunions.

Our condolences go to his son, Brian, daughter Melinda, and two grandchildren.
