In Memory

Joe Asch

ASCH, Joseph Charles November 21, 1957 October 9, 2018 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our son Joey, at the age of 60. Beloved oldest son of Bob and Rosie, brother to Peter and Richard, and to his late sister Kate. Husband of Elizabeth Austin, and father of Henry and Tory. He was a successful entrepreneur who loved to create and build businesses. Joey graduated from Dartmouth College in 1979 and Yale Law School in 1983. He briefly worked for Bain & Co., then formed a successful paramedical supply company in France. After returning to the U.S., he settled in Hanover, N.H., invested in and eventually co-owned the River Valley Club, a health and fitness center. He added a daycare called Fit Kids which he was so passionate about. He built the club up into a very successful fitness center. He renewed his involvement with Dartmouth in 1998, and created the Departmental Editing Program to improve student writing, as well as personally funding the program for 9 years. Joey took over Dartblog in 2009, using the platform to advise and counsel the college's leadership, always looking to improve his beloved college. Joe's intellectual abilities were of the highest order, and he always relished a healthy discussion and a lively debate. He enjoyed a good joke, and spent much time enjoying the Dartmouth campus where he would take lengthy walks with friends and family. Joe will be sorely missed by many. A memorial service will be held at the Dartmouth Outing Club, 10 Hilton Field Road, Hanover, New Hampshire, 03755, on Saturday, October 13, from 12 p.m. 3 p.m.
