Randolph Tucker Fitz-Hugh Jr.

Randolph Tucker Fitz-Hugh, Jr., born on June 10, 1967, passed away on October 21, 2019 following complications from diabetes. He is survived by his mother, Anne Atkinson Fitz-Hugh; his father, Randolph Tucker Fitz-Hugh (Betty); his brother, Clark Pipes Fitz-Hugh (Barbara); his nephew , Clifford Pipes Fitz-Hugh, along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Tucker attended Trinity Episcopal School, Blue Ridge School in Virginia, and graduated from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, New York.

His true passions were art, gardening and cooking, which could easily be seen in his humorous pig paintings, his incredible hanging orchids and garden and his remarkable kitchen. He combined all of his talents to start his catering business, the Garnished Pallete. He also treasured the great outdoors and spent countless hours working on his property in Mississippi.

All that attended his dinner parties, watched him work in the garden, kept him company while he cooked, met him on one of his trips to Europe, or just knew him from everyday life, will miss him greatly.

Tucker loved animals and now will be joining his rescue dog, Streudel, so they can continue their journey together.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Touro, especially Dr. Charlie Smith, for all of their care.

Private services will be held at a later date.
