Hugh Ambrose died peacefully on May 23, 2015, after a brief illness. One of America’s premier historians, the 48 year-old Ambrose left the world too early but his impact on it changed the landscape of both the lives he touched and the causes about which he wrote and cared about so deeply.
Ambrose spent much of his distinguished career bringing to life the stories of the people and places of World War II. His 2010 book, The Pacific, debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at #7 and the book became a fixture on the Times’ non-fiction list for much of that summer. The book was the basis for the highly acclaimed HBO miniseries of the same name on which Ambrose served as a consultant.
Although not born in Montana, Hugh got here as quickly as he could. Growing up in New Orleans the youngest of five children, Hugh was introduced to Montana on regular family vacations to Big Sky Country, often in the overcrowded family Volkswagen bus, in search of a historical site or two to explore. After elementary school in the New Orleans public school system and high school in Ireland, Hugh made his way “home” to Montana at the age of 17 to study history at the University of Montana.
Hugh met many of what were to be his lifelong friends during days spent skiing and during his summer job as a Red Jammer bus driver at Glacier National Park. After receiving both his bachelors and masters degrees in History from the University of Montana, Hugh’s work as a historian, researcher and writer led him to other parts of the country, but Montana always remained home. Following his passion for the lives and stories of America’s World War II veterans, Ambrose agreed to join the National World War II Museum in New Orleans as its Vice President of Development where he played a significant role in the expansion of what the United States Congress has officially declared as “America’s National World War II Museum.”
For Hugh Ambrose, family was most important. He even listened to his mother during a trip home to New Orleans when she insisted that Hugh just had to meet Andrea Loiacano. That meeting would lead to marriage in 1999 to his best friend and mother of their two children; Elsie and Brody. His quiet strength, courage and deep commitment to friends, family and community are touchstones by which Hugh lived his life. These qualities and the power of his words telling the stories of American heroes and his work memorializing those stories through his leadership at the National World War II Museum leave the world a better place for his having been here with us in it.
Hugh is survived by his wife Andrea and their two children Elizabeth (Elsie) Buckley Ambrose and Brody Eisenhower Ambrose, and by his siblings, Grace Ambrose Zaken (Benny), Andrew Ambrose, Stephanie Ambrose Tubbs (John) and Barry Ambrose (Celeste). He is preceded in death by his parents Stephen and Moira Ambrose.
The family will begin receiving friends at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, May 28th with a Vigil service to be held at 4:00 p.m. at Saint Mary Catholic Community, 1700 Missoula Avenue. A funeral Mass will be celebrated 2:00 p.m. Friday, May 29th at Saint Mary Catholic Community. Rite of Committal will follow at Resurrection Cemetery. Donations honoring Hugh may be made to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center via Fred’s Team. www.memorialforhugh.com.

My dear sweet Ande: How can I tell you how sorry I am you have lost Hugh. He was such a wonderful husband, Dad, and friend. Saying he ran the race with grace and dignity is such an old phase, but he did just that, always.
I send you my love and to your beautiful children also. Blessings to you.
Love from, Kathie Raunig

My heart breaks for you, your children, and all of your family. There are no words to adequately express my deep sorrow over this tragic loss. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Brian Lipson says
Dear Ande,
I am so profoundly sorry for you, Elsie and Brody. Hugh was a dear friend, and I find myself flooded with memories that, even at this horrible time, can make me smile. The sailor suit. The “only really awful meal in Paris.” All of the great things Hugh did to leave his mark. When I informed Kary Antholis, he told me an old Greek saying which I think is apropos of Hugh: Let his memory be eternal.
It was my pleasure to work with Hugh, and it was my honor to be his friend.
With much love and deepest sympathies,
Brian
Colin Ambrose says
Dear Ande, Ellie & Brody,
We will miss Hugh, however his life was full of smiles and good loving memories.
Watching him jump on the trampoline in NOLA at the age of 5, the smile was huge. As he walked to the alter in Bay St. Louis, even bigger. Then, as he addressed a crowd of people as a professional historian in Manhattan a few years ago, the confident smile was profound. Saddened by your loss, we will always be available to remind you what a good, honest man he was.
With deep, loving sympathy.
Colin, Jessica and the Ambrose sisters
Nick Conway says
Ande:
I am deeply saddened to hear of Hugh’s passing. I drove with the Hugh in Glacier National Park in 1988 (Red #99) and have many fond memories of that summer season. The last time I saw Hugh was at the 2010 Jammer Reunion at Glacier Park Lodge.
I want to pass my sincere condolences to you and your family. I will truly miss my fellow “Brother of the Wheel!”

Kevin Phillips says
Ande, I was shocked to hear of Hugh’s death from illness; I am far away. I invited him to a dining-in that my reserve unit was having many years ago in Great Falls and he regaled us with stories of war, the bravery of men in a foreign land. He was gifted that way. He trotted the globe in pursuit of knowledge and he helped us understand our history as Americans. I don’t have many persons that I would consider to be true friends, but Hugh was and always will be a friend. Your marriage was a good union. “‘They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.’ ~ William Penn”

Ande, I am an old friend from Glacier NP and U of Mt days. I was saddened to hear of Hugh’s death. I will always remember his warm smile, infectious laughter, his intense storytelling of history, and mostly the random moments of beer drinking, guitar playing fun. I am heartbroken for you and your children. Hugh will live on in countless big and small ways. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Chris Dorsi says
I have a beautiful memory of Hugh I will always cherish.
There, in the back of the canoe on the Dearborn River, during a day that we each had worked hard to borrow from our busy lives in town. And Hugh: soaking it all in, paddling like the expert boater he was, so happy to be outdoors and on the waters of the West. Funny, smart, goofy, compassionate and pensive — what a well-rounded dude! I will miss him so much. I am honored to have spent even snippets of time with him.
I send my love and hopes and support to all of you that called him family.
Edie Ambrose and Yakir Katz, Talia and Sivan says
Yakir and I will arrive Thursday night, too late for the visitation, but we will be there for the service. So much love for everyone in Montana. He is still with us, the best cousin.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Hugh’s passing. I will always remember his great spirit during the days and nights planning Montana Historical Expeditions and playing volleyball on Wednesday nights at Missoula’s Kiwanis Park before the world called him off for far greater adventures. His torch went out far too soon, my heart goes out to all of you.

Like all the Ambrose family what a great addition to the Helena community Hugh was. My father treasures the D Day jacket that Hugh personally delivered during our visit to the museum in New Orleans. The Gilleran family enjoyed having he and Andy as neighbors near the Cathedral many years ago. We admired and respected him greatly.

Dear Andrea, Elsie & Brody,
We are very saddened for your loss of Hugh. What a wonderful man to have had the privilege to meet. He was a man that will live forever in your hearts and be a constant in everyday thoughts. I still remember when we were working on your home. Helping to make it more beautiful as the days went on. The privilege to ship all of Hugh’s published books, “The Pacific.” Wrapping each one carefully and secure as they traveled all over the country to their destination. He supported our store, was so very kind and entrusted us with the care of his books. We will always remember Hugh as a wonderful man, husband to you Ande, and such a loving and caring father to Elsie and Brody. Please know you all will be so close in our hearts and in prayer to comfort you in the days to come. Our sympathies are deep for you.
Love, The Tjaden Family

I was saddened to hear of your loss. May your fond memories of the time you had with Hugh provide comfort during this very difficult period and in the years to come.
Louise Quinn says
It is with great sadness that we hear of Hugh’s passing. Our hearts are heavy as we send these words to all the Ambrose family.
We have deep and wonderful memories of the early years: picking wildflowers on the Kansas prairie, campfires in the Black Hills, and, later, swimming and storytelling at the WI cabin. It was all an adventure and ended way too soon.
Hugh, with his wide grin, buoyant spirit and big, big heart is so much a part of these memories – he is carried in our hearts forever.

Dear Ambrose Family,
On behalf of all your Lewis and Clark friends in Indiana, we send our deepest sympathy. Your family has a special place in our hearts. We know that Hugh helped with the writing of Undaunted Courage and we thank him for his contributions. Stephenie used to tell us that her father was looking down smiling at what was accomplished in Clarksville. We pray that through all the tears, you will have peace knowing of the joy in Heaven as Hugh joins Stephen and Moira in looking down.

Mickey and Pam Fluitt says
How can you say goodbye to someone who has been part of your life for so long? Mickey met Hugh long ago in New Orleans. They were great friends, traveling companions, and partners in crime. Hugh was the best man at our wedding. To say the world has lost a great guy is an understatement. The Ambrose family has suffered a terrible loss and words cannot express our sympathy. Mickey and Pam Fluitt

Margaret Woo says
To Ande & family and all the Ambrose family (Stephenie et al),
My best memory of Hugh was, while standing in a line waiting for something that was obviously worth waiting in line for, and seeing him with that big smile on his face greeting me and others like old friends. He adopted my home state as his own, and we want to claim him and you all as one of us He really had a way to make everyone feel special. I’m sure he’s with your parents sharing some pretty good stories.
My deepest sympathies,
Margaret
Jim Bailey says
I knew Hugh as a brother Jammer Driver at GNP during the summer of 1988. He was a kind, friendly, genuine person with a knack for a story even back then. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. I am greatly saddened by the news of his death, but have powerful memories of our time together in Montana. Peace and comfort to the Ambrose family.
Jon Seda says
My deepest prayers go out to the Ambrose family. I’m absolutely stunned & heartbroken! Hugh’s passion to be true to all those that served and sacrificed during WWII in the Pacific was invaluable! I’ll never forget the day he called me with such joy to inform me that my face would be on the cover of his book, “The Pacific”, thank you forever Hugh! RIP my friend!
Chris Bolka says
My deepest condolances for your loss of a great man.
I have fond memories of skiing together at Snowbowl, the vigor and passion for history while we were in school together and as roommates. I am saddened by the loss too young

Ann Israel (Fluitt) says
A special message to the family of a very special person. At 5 thru about 18, I always called him Hughie, he then said since I am older it is now Hugh, but to me, he will always be Hughie. The little kid with a great heart , smile, carefree and always trying to keep up with
the older kids. What a sweet soul, glad he never changed
Jim Fall says
Andrea,
I was truly saddened to hear of Hugh’s untimely death and want to try somehow to express my sadness, although I do not know exactly how.
Our friendship with Hugh was comfortable when we were across-the-street neighbors on Hauser and I remember Jan and I welcoming you “home” when you first came to Helena as a newlywed.
I am sorry to have not gotten to know you better, but I moved back to Missouri soon after Jan died, and our paths obviously have not crossed since.
I always enjoyed Hugh and respected his work with his dad, and then on his own after Stephen’s death. I was very pleased when he eventually received the attention and respect he so justly deserved.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy to you and your children. You and they are in my prayers.
Respectfully,
Jim Fall

Chere Jiusto says
It is heartbreaking to lose someone so well-loved too soon. Hugh gave much to his family and friends, to his community and to the American people, and had a true gift for bringing the stories of our past to life. He will be dearly missed and long remembered for his humor, kindness and incisive work.
To Ande, Steph and all the Ambrose family, our hearts are with you,

Bill & Priscilla Ambrose says
Dear Andrea, Stephenie, Grace, Barry, Andy,
We are so sorry at the loss of your Hugh, only 48 years old. Life can be so cruel for us living. He was a wonderful husband, brother and father. We knew he had this disease hanging over him for several years but he hid it so well and was always so friendly and outgoing. The last 2 times we saw Hugh was two years ago this summer in Montana at Riley’s wedding and again later that summer right here in Friendship, Maine. On both occasions no one would ever suspect. We were so proud of his work first for Stephen and followed by his own book, a best seller. We also loved his carrying the torch for the World War II museum. We were looking forward to his publishing the book on Prohibition. We are sorry we cannot make the visitation and funeral this week.
Uncle Bill and Aunt Pris
Ann Israel (Fluitt) says

Ande, Elsie and dear old Brody,
We were all very sad to hear of Hugh’s passing. It was a long, difficult road that I know did not end the way we all wished and prayed for. I pray for some measure of closure and acceptance to come to you and the children. We all think about you guys very often, especially me. We are, unfortunately unable to attend Hugh’s services but will be praying for grace for you all during those times. Ande, PLEASE give me a call some time in the future. We would love to spend some time with Elsie and Brody and yourself-same #

Dear Mrs. Ambrose,
Words cannot describe the sorrow I feel in hearing about Hugh’s passing. I met Hugh briefly at Glacier where he and my son, Tom Miller, were jammers! They had met while studying in Austria in 1988 and became buddies. Hugh and Tom from an airplane to celebrate Hugh’s 30th birthday ( much to my nervousness !)
I am originally from Wisconsin and grew up close to the cabin they loved in Dunbar!
Hugh has changed the world with his smile, charm and knowledge. He will live on in all of us.
With heartfelt sympathy to your family,

Dianna Reber Riley says
Dear Ambrose and Tubbs Families:
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Hugh was in a senior seminar class with me in 1988 at UM. There were only 10 of us so we really got to know each other. His writing was stellar–he must have been 21. I loved following his career and especially reading The Pacific.
He left a wonderful legacy, may all your memories bring you great comfort. Sincerely, Dianna Reber Riley
Tess and Mike says
Dearest Ande, Elsie and Brody,
Our hearts aches thinking of what you are going through.
We feel honored to have known Hugh and to count him as a close friend.
He was intelligent, witty and articulate , a loving husband and a wonderful dad.
We cherish the memories of sitting around your dinner table and having great conversations.
He was a rare combination of a witty storyteller and a great listener.
We will miss him deeply.

Michael Mayer says
Dear Ande,
Words fail to express my sadness and my sympathy for you, Elsie and Brody. Hugh was a joy to have as a student and later as a fellow historian. We are all poorer for his absence. In one sense, Hugh will live on in his work and in the memories of those who loved him. I, for one, will miss his impish grin.
Mike
Kirt Garcia says
I don’t know what to say. Just stunned. I’ll miss seeing him at the Museum for a presentation of his work. I’ll miss having a drink with him afterwards and just talking about it and other things. He was always willing to take the time to do that. Thanks for letting me help with some of the research. Learned plenty from doing it. My faith tells me that I’ll see him again in the next life but I’m going to miss seeing him right now, in the here and now.

Warm thoughts to the Ambrose family. We didn’t know Hugh but have wonderful memories of spending time with and getting to know Stephanie and Mrs. Ambrose during the many signature events during the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial.

Wesley Franklin says
Dear family of Hugh,
I express my deepest condolences. You may not know who I am, but Hugh gave me the experience of a lifetime three years ago when I was his guest at the gala for the Wisconsin Veteran’s Museum. He has had such an effect on my life and I know he was a great man. He will be sorely missed.
Sincerely,
