Longtime resident of Brewster and one of the area's most popular former restaurateurs, died at his home on Long Pond Road on Sunday, May 30. He was 89.
Mr. Hyde, who was born in Ligonier, Indiana, was the son of Charles B. and Lottie McKee Hyde, and had lived on Cape Cod for more than 50 years.
Mr. Hyde served in the U.S. Army at home and overseas during World War II and later joined the National Broadcasting Company in New York City as a graphics artist. It was during his years with NBC that Mr. Hyde decided to move to Cape Cod to help his longtime partner, William "Bill" Arbuckle, run an inn and restaurant in Brewster called "High Brewster." The inn, which they ran for more than 30 years inside a red clapboard 18th Century sea captain's house on Satucket Road near the Grist Mill, became one of Cape Cod's most popular and celebrated dining establishments. Over the years, it drew thousands of patrons from both on and off the Cape, as well as regular vacationers from as far away as New York City, Washington, D.C., Florida and parts of Europe. Many remember the numerous New England business families and stage artists who went there. After Mr. Arbuckle's death, Mr. Hyde ran "High Brewster" until his retirement in 1988.
During his retirement, Mr. Hyde continued to practice his own special painting art of decorating antique furniture, a highly admired art form he pursued in Brewster until only a few years ago. Mr. Hyde's love of art was also reflected in his support for the Cape Cod Museum of Art on the grounds of the Cape Playhouse in Dennis, the Cape Repertory Theatre in Brewster and the Monomoy Theatre in Chatham. His painting of the theater's exterior was once used for its website on the Internet.
Mr. Hyde is survived by a brother, Joseph, and a sister, Rosamond Adams, as well as five nephews and nieces, Ken and Eleanor Hydeof Georgia, Debbie Adams of Iowa and Wesley and Roseanne Hyde, and a multitude of friends.
