White, Hugh J. May 27, 1949 - August 16, 2022

Hugh J. White, 73, of Bronxville NY passed away on August 16. 2022. Hugh is remembered as a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, “papa” and friend.

The son of Una McGetrick and Hugh White, he was born in the Bronx   on May 27th, 1949. He graduated from Iona College where he studied English and Classic Literature.

Hugh launched his professional career at Grey Advertising as a Media Research Manager. He then went on to work for 20 years at the New York Times Magazine Group handling marketing research for publications such as Golf Digest, Golf World and Tennis. The fairways and greens were a true passion in his life, a suitable professional match. Subsequently he became the Managing Director for MARS within the KMR Group, as well as vice president of IPSOS Media.

When not working, Hugh had fun traveling  with his family, sharing adventures that created strong memories. Friends joined in Hugh’s top level appreciation for time on the golf course. He also knew his way around a good key lime pie.

So proud of his cherished family,  Hugh  is survived by his wife, Mary Claire (Brennan), sons, Gregory and Peter (Lauren-Rose), his sisters, Gerri Gildea and Sheila McMahon, his grandchildren, Noelle and Eva, as well as  many well-loved  friends.

    A true gentleman and excellent conversationalist. Though I only met Hugh a few years ago we were from the same Bronx neighbor and had mutual friends from our grammar school and high school years.
    May his family and friends find comfort sharing their love for Hugh

    I will always remember Hugh as “Mr. White”, a truly kind man who was infinitely patient with myself and Greg’s friends during many loud band practices at the White residence. Often with a smile on his face, he nurtured our interest in forming a band with a positivity that still endures.

    My condolences and sympathies to the White family, sending you all love
