Richard Donald McCarty ’34

Dick McCarty, who retired in 1983 after a nineyear stint with the postal service following nearly 30 years with R. Hoe & Co., printing press manufacturers, died of leukemia Apr. 28, 1996. According to his wife, Elizabeth, he had entered the hospital for tests expecting to return home in a day or two.

In retirement Dick took up woodworking and turned out some beautiful chests, desks, and bureaus, apparently never fully realizing the talent he had.

After Harvard Business School (193436) and the Columbia Graduate School of Business Administration (193940), Dick worked for R. Hoe & Co. in tabulating, accountings sales, and production, from 1935-43 and again from 1951-71. From 1943-51 he served in the Navy.

Since college, Dick once noted, he had homes in Orange, N.J.; NYC; Rowayton, Conn.; Arlington, Va.; and New Canaan, Conn.

Surviving besides Elizabeth Forsyth McCarthy (Hollins '37), are a son, Robert, a daughter, Terry, and five grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
