Richard Hartman Haigh ’35

Dick died Sept. 15, 2001, in Falmouth, Mass. A graduate of Columbia [Maplewood, N.J.] HS, he majored in French with honors at Princeton and was a member of the Glee Club, Triangle Club, and Quadrangle. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1939, and that same year also received a certificate from Harvard's Business School. Next he married for the first time, and joined the legal department of Allied Chemical & Dye. During WWII, Dick was assigned to counseling work in various military separation centers in the Army.

Divorced from his first wife, he married the former Isabel Emory, a union that lasted until her death, more than four decades later. At the time of '35's 25th reunion, Dick, Isabel, and their children were ensconced in St. Petersburg, Fla., where Dick had set up his own company, British & Continental Motors Inc. He also had joined two yacht clubs, and admitted that life was "just great."

Isabel died in 1985. Dick moved to Falmouth, and in 1990 was married there to Cynthia Eldred. She survives him, as do all five of his children, five grandchildren, and his eldest daughter's husband, Dr. Robert G. Dluhy, '58.
