F.C. Richmond Pugh, 82, died Saturday, February 16, 2002.
He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on March 27, 1919, the son of Dr. and Mrs. Walter N. Pugh. He attended Wasatch Elementary School, East High School, and the University of Utah where he received a B.A. degree. Following college he enlisted in the army in order to serve in World War II, achieving the rank of Captain by the time he was discharged. Following the war he earned his MBA at Harvard University. He was employed by Mobil Oil Corp for 27 years in their Marketing Department, first in Los Angeles and later in New York City. He retired in 1974 and moved to Chatham Township, New Jersey. An avid fly fisherman, he was a member of the Flat Rock Club of Mack's Inn, Idaho where he fished annually. His devotion to fishing encompassed a reverence for the outdoors and the beauty of the wild. Rich was a jokester of the first order, and a gamesman of no small skill. He will be fondly remembered for his quick wit and love of chess, blackjack and red dog. Rich was also no stranger to the good life, enjoying a fine meal, a good beer, his ubiquitous cigar and a clever story.
He is survived by his sister and her husband, Muriel and George Baker, also of Chatham Township, New Jersey and two nieces, Melody G. Baker of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and Melissa Connelly (William) of Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as five grand nieces and nephews.
No services are planned. Those who wish may make donations in his memory to either the Chatham Public Library or the Henry's Fork Foundation.
