Arthur Hugglestone Obituary
An avid sailor, outdoorsman and conservationist, Mr. Hugglestone was a pioneer in the Montgomery County Outdoor Education program, inspiring generations of children with his infectious enthusiasm for the mountains, sea and undiscovered places in the great classroom beyond four walls. Helping people develop a deeper relationship with nature, themselves and others gave him great satisfaction.
Travel was a passion and he had a particular fondness for South East Asia, teaching at the Singapore American School in the 1970s where he served as dean of students. In the 1980s he was selected to study in India on a Fulbright Scholarship.
After retiring he served as a park ranger in many of the United States' greatest natural treasures: Everglades National Park, Haleakala National Park and Acadia National Park to name a few. He is a member of the Frederick Chapter of Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks.
Surviving are daughters Kara Hugglestone and fiance Mathew Hernandez of Half Moon Bay, Ca. and Heather Hugglestone and boyfriend Kim Davies of Fernadina Beach, Fla.
Mr. Hugglestone, who had battled lung cancer for almost three years, requested that his body be donated the Anatomy Board of Maryland in hopes to aid research for a cure.
There will be a private memorial for family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Cancer Society.

Arthur has been one of my best friends since I came to America from Italy when I was fifteen years old. A lot of adventures over the years including summer jobs in Atlantic City. Goodbye friend and my sympathy to Fern, Heather and Kara. Gene Squillari

Arthur and I grew up in Frostburg and have been best friends since childhood living across the street from each other. As babies born just a few months apart, we even shared the same playpen when our mothers visited. We were best friends through high school and when Gino Squillari came to America from Italy to work in his Uncle Anton's chain of restaurants, we became the Three Musketeers. We have remained close friends throughout the years going on trips and vacations with our families. We were fortunate to have several opportunities to visit Arthur in recent months as his health declined. Another good friend Art Gehauf even brought crabs from the Elks Club for a last crab feast. During all this time his wife Fern was by his side and his daughter Heather from Florida was able to spend most of the past month with him as her employer allowed her to work from their Frederick home. Carol and I send our deepest and saddest sympathy to Fern, Heather and Kara. Arthur's was a life well lived.

He was one of my favorite teachers. He was my 6th grade teachers at Parkway Elementary School in 1960. I noticed that he always had holes in his socks (this was before he got married), so for Christmas I got him socks. I often wondered what he thought about that. I think he probably laughed. I hope so, he was a great teacher. The world was blessed to have him.
