Hunter Goodrich Jr. ’52

Body

Hunter Goodrich died at home in Southampton, N.Y., Jan. 6, 1995, after a six-month struggle with colon cancer. His memorial service was held in St. John's Episcopal Church in Southampton.

Born in Milwaukee, Hunter soon moved with his family to the New York area. He developed a special devotion to Southampton, where he was a lifelong member of the Meadow Club. Hunter graduated from Thatcher and Deerfield, where he played hockey and squash and captained the tennis team. At Princeton his major was in the SPIA. He belonged to Colonial Club.

After a three-year tour with the Army Counterintelligence Corps, Hunter settled in N.Y.C. as a stockbroker. He joined Carl M. Loeb, Rhoades and Co. and became a partner in 1961. The major portion of his 30 years as a member of the New York Stock Exchange was spent with Shearson-Lehman. An accomplished gardener, Hunter was commissioner of parks and recreation during his term as Southampton village trustee. In Oct. 1994, four months after surgery, he and Diane visited the Goodrich Castle in Herefordshire, England.

Hunter is survived by his wife, Diane; three daughters, Mary, Melissa, and Diane Smith; and a stepson, David D. Duke. We offer them our profound condolences.
