Howard G. Hudson ’59

Howie grew up in Syracuse and Fayetteville, N.Y. He graduated from Loomis School, where he played football and baseball, and received the Batchelder Art Prize upon graduation. At Princeton, he majored in sociology and economics, graduating cum laude. A member of Cannon Club and a varsity football player, he roomed with Helfenstein, Henderson, R. Hill, Waters, and Warwick.

Early on at Princeton he met the boxing coach/sculpture professor Joe Brown, who became his mentor, first in boxing and then in sculpting. Following graduation, Howie served his 90-day military commitment as an ambulance driver in the Marine Corps Reserve. He then moved to New York City, where he met Harriet Corvo; they were married two years later.

Howie started a business career at Morgan Guaranty, becoming head of fixed income in the trust investment division. After 20 years there, he moved on to a partnership at BEA Associates, then his own firm that underwent a series of mergers. He retired in 2000 and turned to an initial love: sculpture.

The Hudsons lived most of their married life in Waccabuc, N.Y., where Howie served as president of the Waccabuc Country Club. They moved to North Palm Beach as he approached retirement.

Howie died Aug. 29, 2024, at his home in North Palm Beach. He is survived by his wife, Harriet; daughters Elizabeth and Amy; and three grandchildren.
