He was born in Providence and entered Princeton from St. George's School. He majored in philosophy, was active in Inter-Club sports, and was a member of Ivy Club.

On his mother's side he was a direct descendant of the family that established the Brooks Brothers clothing firm in 1818.

In retirement he was a driver for the Jamestown (R.I.) Red Cross Motor Corp., and enjoyed sailing and considerable traveling.

He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and a large extended family of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A memorial service was held Aug. 19 at St. George's School Chapel in Middletown, R.I. The class has lost a loyal member and extends its sympathy to all of Ash's family.
