Henry ‘Hank’ Dugan

LYME, CT —Henry ‘Hank’ Dugan, aged 82, died peacefully on May 5, 2025 at home in Lyme, CT. Hank was born and raised in Central Falls, RI after which he attended Northeastern University and RI College. He attended OCS at the Coast Guard Academy, becoming an Academy math instructor and basketball coach. Hank spent his professional life in marketing and sales for tech companies while living in CT, MA, NJ, CA and Wash, DC until retiring to Ocean City, NJ and then Lyme.

His lifelong interests included: playing golf (2 holes-in-one), cycling, bridge, the Yankees, handball, gin, UConn women’s basketball and the beach. He played on Northeastern’s first team to make it to NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen, and won competitive matches as a senior handball player in the DC area. His bridge game was outstanding.

He is predeceased by his wife, Ann Gibbons Dugan, of Providence, RI, his mother, Dorothy Peterson, of Pawtucket, RI, and his father, Henry ‘Dixie’ Dugan, of Cumberland, RI. He leaves behind his daughter, Kelly Dugan, of Lyme, CT, his son Ryan Dugan and his wife Sarah Smith, of Glen Burnie, MD as well as three amazing grandchildren: Olivia, Makayla, and Tristan. Of his many first cousins in the Siok family, Carl Romanovich was like a brother to him.

Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Hank’s name to the Central Falls Public Library or The Nature Conservancy. To celebrate his life hit a golf ball, have a VERY DRY martini, and root for the UConn women next spring.
