Obituary for Hugh R. Brown

Hugh "Hughie" Robinson Brown died the evening of September 26, 2017. He was a tried and true New Englander. Hugh's favorite time of year was late Autumn when he would go out with his beloved dogs to hunt for woodcock and ruffed grouse. He was never without a dog by his side. Born September 7, 1928 to Hugh and Phyllis Brown. He grew up with his two brothers, Alfred and Robert, in Unionville, Connecticut. After graduation from High School, he enlisted in the US Army, serving a portion of the time in the "god awful" Aleutian Islands. Upon discharge, Hugh began his career in the family business, The Mono Typesetting Company, working alongside his father, brother Bob, and son Putt. Hugh was married to the beautiful Cherrilla Putnam for 44 years until her passing in 1998. They raised three children together in North Canton: Cherrilla, Hugh (Putt) and Peter. He is survived by all three, along with his daughters-in-law, Christine and Erin, five grandchildren, Shannon, Ian, Olivia, Coco and Isabella and four great grandchildren. Hugh was a founding member of the Ratlum Mountain Conservation Association, The North Canton VFD, and an active member of both The Connecticut Christmas Tree Growers Association and the Maple Syrup Producers Association of Connecticut. Although he will never again be found in the fields and woods of Connecticut with his dogs, his memory will remain strong with those who knew and loved him. Donations in memory of Hugh may be made to the Ruffed Grouse Society at ruffedgrousesociety.org, 451 McCormick Road, Coraopolis, PA 15108. A private service will be held at the family's discretion. 30
