In Memory: Hugh Christopher Ardleigh, Age 75
Hugh Christopher Ardleigh passed away at his home on Tuesday, August 16, 2022, in Del Mar, Calif., at the age of 75. He grew up in Rye, N.Y., and graduated from Rye High School. Chris attended the prestigious West Point Military Academy and graduated in 1972, Company 1, and then proudly served in the United States Army. Chris worked as an engineer and intelligence officer before retiring to live near the beach.
Chris married Susan Burns at the West Point Cathedral and they raised four beautiful daughters. He is survived by his four daughters, three grandchildren, and cat, Garfield.
The family will have a private memorial in California. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in his name to West Point Class of 1972 Class Fund or to your local animal shelter, as Chris was a life long pet owner.
