H. Nevin Gehman, age 79, of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL died Nov. 4, 1999 at St. Luke's Hospital in Jacksonville, FL. Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was a graduate of Exeter Academy and Princeton University, where he was a first-team, All-American on the university's National Championship lacrosse team in 1942. He served in the United States Naval Reserve during World War II, and was a commanding officer of two sub chasers, one in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic. He retired as a lieutenant senior grade.

Mr. Gehman and his wife, Mary Beth, moved to St. Augustine, FL from Manhasset in 1985 when he retired from a career in marketing, advertising, and fund-raising in New York City. He had been a senior vice-president on a unit of the Interpublic Group of Companies, which was at that time the world's largest advertising and marketing firm.

He was an active member of Trinity Episcopal Church in St. Augustine, where he had been a vestry member, a lay-leader, and a chalice server. In 1995 he headed a fund-raising committee to complete major repairs to the church. In 1996 he chaired Trinity Church's 175th anniversary celebration committee, and in 1997 and 1998 he was in charge of the fund-raising committee to restore the church's Aeolian-Skinner organ.

Mr. Gehman was a trustee of the St. Augustine Historical Society, and had been that organization's representative to the Presidio Commission that planned the reconstruction of the Santo Domingo Redoudt and the completion of the Cubo Defense Wall. As a director of the St. Francis Soup Kitchen and Shelter, he was its volunteer fund-raiser for eight years, and subsequently for the migrant farm worker support program in Hastings. He was given a "12 Who Care" award by Television Channel 12 in Jacksonville for his work for the St. Francis House.
