Henry H Hitch, 94, passed away peacefully on August 6, 2026, surrounded by his loved ones in Jacksonville, FL.

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Harry was the beloved son of Joseph Delano Hitch Jr. and Katherine Dalton Hitch. He moved to the United States at the age of 5 with his family as they returned before the war. He graduated from the South Kent "Prep" School before earning his bachelor's degree from Harvard University. Henry went on to build a distinguished career in finance, serving as a dedicated Financial Advisor at Scudder, Stevens & Clark Inc., and later channeling his entrepreneurial spirit into founding HHH Investments.

Throughout his life, Harry established deep roots in the communities he loved, spending many meaningful years in New Canaan, Connecticut (52 years), as well as Vero Beach, Florida, and Amelia Island, Florida. He was a deeply valued member of his community, actively participating in the New Canaan Men's Club, worshiping and taking leadership roles at the New Canaan Presbyterian Church, and contributing his time and leadership to the Rita Allen Foundation.

Harry lived life to the fullest, guided by an unwavering passion for his family, a love of travel (he and his wife Tuckie visited over 50 countries and all seven continents), and a lifelong fascination with the stock market. An avid sports enthusiast, he could frequently be found playing or watching tennis and golf.

Above all, Harry was devoted to his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 72 years, Mary Ellan "Tuckie" Hitch. He was the proud and loving father of Susan Dixon, Kiere Schroeder, Hal Hitch, and Mark Hitch. He is also survived by his dear brother, Philip Hitch. He was preceded in death by his parents and three siblings.

The family requests that memorial donations be made in Henry's name to South Kent School (South Kent, CT) or the Rita Allen Foundation, P.O. Box 116, Princeton, NJ 08542.
