H. Bruggeman Obituary
Fred was born in Tuxedo Park, N.Y., and raised in Lake Mohawk, N.J., and Carmel, Calif., graduating from Carmel High School, Class of 1957. He received a Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of Connecticut, Class of 1962. Fred achieved the rank of lieutenant while honorably serving his country in the United States Navy. He was an accomplished horseman, blacksmith, and entrepreneur, operating two successful businesses in the town of Hebron. In his retirement years, Fred offered his professional experience and services to Central Connecticut Coatings of East Hartford, and Airborn Coatings of Oklahoma City and Charlotte. However, Fred's true vocation was fly fishing, and he had a special affinity for the Farmington River and its discerning trout population.
Fred is survived by Pamela, his devoted wife of 46 years; sons, John F. Bruggeman of Denver, Colo.; Aaron T. Bruggeman of Charlotte, N.C.; Adam R. Bruggeman, and his wife, Heather, of Hebron; granddaughter, Emily R.; sister, Judith A. Fryberger of Littleton, Colo.; and numerous nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
Burial will be private and at the convenience of the family.
