Ralph Hustace Hubbard ’34

Ralph Hubbard, a fourth generation New Yorker and former president of Permark Management Consultants, Inc., in Stamford, Conn., died Feb. 27, 1999, a few weeks short of his 87th birthday.

Following 31 years with Anderson, Clayton & Co., cotton merchants in Latin America and the Far East, he began a consulting career in executive recruiting as a partner of Emile Zimmer Associates. During WWII, he was a Naval officer recruited by the OSS to serve with an air-sea rescue PT boat squadron in the South Pacific. He was awarded a Bronze Star.

Ralph was a popular member of our class and attended as many class affairs as his frequent travels permitted. He considered himself "wealthy," as he once wrote, "in that I have had half a dozen really close friends, more than most of us are allowed."

Ralph is survived by his wife, Mary Gibson Hubbard, whom he married in 1990; a son, Thomas, and a daughter, Hilary H. Bennett, both of whom were born in Argentina, where Ralph and his first wife, Carol Carpenter, lived from 1948-65. Carol died in 1985. Also surviving are six grandchildren, a brother-in-law, and numerous nephews and nieces. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
