Hugh James McCarthy ’67
Hugh James McCarthy ’67 died December 27, 2012, in Mexico. He came to the College from Loyola Academy. At Dartmouth he majored in economic geography, was a brother of Alpha Chi Alpha and a member of the Dartmouth Outing Club, Newman Club, Yacht Club and Project Mexico. He earned his J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1972. Hugh went abroad, married and enlisted in the Navy before having two children and a rewarding career in law in Chicago. To the many with whom he sailed, hunted or played golf, he was a gentleman and consummate sportsman. He was described as the child who never quite grew up and a thoughtful, brilliant, generous father. He leaves behind echoes of his thirst for knowledge, love of sailing, quirky sense of humor and penchant for exploration. He is survived by children Mary and Hugh III, sister Margaret and six grandchildren.
