Obituary: Hugh Keough, 66, Of Greenwich

Via Fred D. Knapp Funeral Home

Hugh Keough, 66, passed away on October 17 at his home in Greenwich. Hugh was born on November 24, 1954 in Greenwich. He was predeceased by his parents, Helen Murty Keough and John Keough and his sister, Ellen Rush Keough Bertolf.

Hugh is survived by his niece, Deana Bertolf Salerno (and her husband Steve), nephew Richard Bertolf, Jr. and his brother in law, Richard Bertolf, all of Greenwich and was survived by many cousins, including his special cousin and friend, Cathy Olin Grant.

Hugh was a graduate of Greenwich High School and worked many years with the Greenwich Housing Authority. Hugh was an avid reader and sports fan of his New York teams. He loved the town of Greenwich where he lived his entire life, enjoying Island Beach where his mother was the attending nurse for years. As a result, Hugh practically grew up on Island Beach with his mom, Aunt May, Suzanne and his Uncle Hughie. He was well known about town where he spent much time in his retirement years walking about at various times of the day. He enjoyed all his friends and the great food at Putnam Restaurant each day.

He will be missed by all who knew him as he was a kind and gentle person and cared deeply for those he loved and knew. Hugh was a content person, always quick to laugh and smile, and fully appreciated life as he experienced it.

A celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Thank you from the family for being his friend and acquaintance.
