Andrew G. Couch Of Quogue Dies April 14

author on Apr 19, 2016

Andrew Gerard Couch of Quogue and Manhattan died on April 14 at the Westhampton Care Center.

Mr. Couch was born in 1929 in Astoria to William and Berenice Miller Couch. He was one of four sons, now all deceased. He is survived by his wife, Suzanne, and a niece, Linda Blakely of Bronxville, New York.

Mr. Couch graduated from New York University with a degree in economics and finance and continued on to Columbia University where he earned a master’s degree in business and finance. Following graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and was deployed to Fort Dix, New Jersey, where he taught finance to officers and earned the rank of sergeant.

Following an honorable discharge he entered corporate life focused on sales and marketing, moving through several divisions of Warner Lambert Pharmaceuticals and American Optical Company that were each subsequently acquired by Pfizer.

After multiple relocations he became a resident of Larchmont, where founded Exhibit House LLC, a creator and manufacturer of trade show display equipment. The firm concentrated on serving large sales forces of major companies in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. He subsequently sold the company but continued to advise his former clients.

In 1978, Mr. Couch and his wife built a house in Quogue and, in 1980, acquired a Manhattan condo. They split their time between Larchmont, Quogue and Manhattan until Mr. Couch retired in 1990 to live full time in Quogue.

Funeral arrangements are private.

Memorial donations may be made to the Bideawee Animal Shelter in Westhampton, bideawee.org, or the Columbia University Office of Alumni, alumni.columbia.edu.
