Hugh Robert Muir, 80, of Oak Park, died on July 24, 2024. Born on May 26, 1944, he loved the outdoors, was a record-setting swimmer at Proviso East High School, and attended Ohio State University. He later lived in California on a sailboat. A man of many talents, he worked for CompuServe in its early days, programmed computers for much of the rest of his career, and loved to fly both airplanes and gliders, but his greatest joys were cooking and reading. He had a soft spot for both parrots and Smart Cars.
Hugh was the son of the late Henry and Bessie Muir (nee Heise). He is survived by many cousins and friends.
Visitation will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 1, followed by the funeral service at 11 at Peterson-Bassi Chapel, 6938 W. North Ave. in Chicago.
