CHARLES MUSSER HUTTIG, JR. Charles Musser Huttig, Jr. ‘Bud' died Sunday morning, May 8, in Palm Beach. He was 75. Bud was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He was a graduate of Washington University and served in the Air Force before joining the family firm, Huttig Sash and Door. After moving to Palm Beach in the 1960's, he became a stockbroker with Paine Webber until his retirement. On his boat, the Memsaab, he became a competitive sports fisherman. He enjoyed trolling in the Gulfstream where he won The Beinecke trophy for the largest blue marlin caught off Palm Beach. He was a member of The Crocodiles, The Bath and Tennis Club and a life member of The Sailfish Club. Bud was a tennis player and sporting clay enthusiast. He was a founding member of various duck clubs in St. Louis. In the Dominican Republic at Casa de Campo, he was known as ‘Sr. Burro' and won many first prizes much to the chagrin of his shooting buddy, ‘Leroy de Palm Beach'. Bud's favorite getaway was his home at the base of the mountain in Big Sky, MT where he and Brooke enjoyed winter and summer sports. He was an agile and elegant skier. He had many hobbies, which included ‘checkering' the stocks of his own, and his friends' guns. He loved tending to his orchids which his wife, Brooke, entered in the Garden Club Flower Show: one of which won a ribbon. He was a member of Mensa, which explained his wizardry at gin rummy and crossword puzzles. He was a wine connoisseur and loved sharing his appreciation and expertise with his friends and family. In addition to his true love of 41 years, Brooke Wendel Huttig, he is survived by his two sons, Charles Musser Huttig, III, daughter in law Miki, and their daughter, Katie and also Martin Wendel Huttig, daughter in law Clarissa and their children, Bailey and Storm. His three sisters, Mrs. E. Lawrence Keyes Jr., Mrs. William S. Ford, Jr., and Mrs. Paul H. Goessling, Jr., all of St. Louis, MO, also survive him. There was nothing better than listening to Bud's infectious laughter that echoed from room to room. Bud was a true gentleman of the old school with a demeanor of quiet kindness.
