Deaths of note from around the world:

Douglas J. Dayton, 88: Helped expand his grandfather’s Minneapolis dry goods business into a big-box boutique known for quality products, discount pricing and a fake French nickname — though most people just call it Target. In May 1961, a year before the first Target store opened in Roseville, Minn., Douglas told The Minneapolis Tribune that the company would “combine the best of the fashion world with the best of the discount world, a quality store with quality merchandise at discount prices.” Died Friday at his home in Wayzata, Minn.

Norman Parish, 75: A painter who opened an art gallery in Washington that spotlighted African American artists at a time when few other galleries concentrated on showing their work. Over the years, Parish showed the work of more than 170 artists, including such well-known figures as Sam Gilliam, Richard Mayhew, Lou Stovall, E.J. Montgomery and Wadsworth Jarrell. Died July 8 at his home in Germantown, Md.

Austin Goodrich, 87: A U.S. spy who used credentials as a journalist to establish his cover during Cold War postings abroad. He set himself up as a freelance writer and reporter in Stockholm in 1949. At the same time, he was foraging among local Communists for dissatisfied party members and performing other clandestine tasks. Goodrich began contributing pieces to CBS as a stringer in the 1950s, and for a time the network brought him back to New York to serve as a news writer, but he was fired in 1954 after CBS learned of his connection to the CIA. Died June 9.
