January 29, 1926 – January 18, 2013
Albert Hugo, beloved husband of Susanne Hugo, father, grandfather, uncle, one of the original founders of Rincon Engineering and friend to many, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home.
Albert was born in Hosbach, Germany and was the youngest of six children born to the late Eduard and Magdalena Hugo. His legacy is amazing from his many years of expertise in the machining industry and sharing that knowledge with his two sons Roger and Richard Hugo who are continuing to serve the manufacturing industry for over 50 years thru Rincon Engineering in Carpinteria.
Albert retired in 1988 and lived his dream of traveling the world and achieving his goal of visiting all of the earth’s 7 continents – some several times over for 20+ years with the love of his life, Susanne.
Albert’s hobbies, when not being a world cruiser, was building, tinkering and attending many and various German – American Club functions many of which included more traveling. In Albert’s later years after a heart attack he was forced to slow down, opening yet another opportunity to spend more time with family.
He is survived by his treasured wife of almost 50 years Susanne; son Roger (Ingrid), Richard (Colleen), Grandchildren: Roxanne, Ariana, Erik, Albert and Thomas Hugo.
A special thanks to his care givers Letty Pulido, Pat Wheatley and Cindy Matsumura.
A private celebration of his life and the spreading of his ashes in the ocean that he so loved to travel on will be held Saturday February 2, 2013 at 10:30am on the Double Dolphin– directions: http://www.sbsail.com/directions.html.
