I met Hugh back in August, while helping my Mother in law, who was going through a hardship of her own. Over a 6 week period I remember observing Hugh from across the street and could tell his aura was beautiful and pure.
I saw a great neighbor, a loving husband, and a sweet animal lover.
When I got to formally meet him and Mrs Patty, I could tell they were definitely soul mates. That they were more than partners here in this life, but even before this one, and still would be long after.
Every morning I would get to say hi to him in passing, between running errands, and walking the dog. I'd get to chat with him here and there, share stories of mine and hear stories of his.
I loved watching him bask in God's sunlight, from his garage, in his chair, as he would fall asleep in its warmth.
I don't know exactly what it is was about Hugh, but crossing his path was no coincidence for me. He inspired me to enjoy the present moment no matter what life brings. I will never forget him and how he left his mark on me and my two little boys.
I look forward to the next time we meet Mr Hugh, I'll be sure to collect as many memories and stories as I can while I am here...

My condolences to the family of Brother Hugh. I always enjoyed visiting with Brother Hugh at Ranger when he was conducting the tours through the finish room and was especially proud to be able to present Brother Hugh with his 50 Year Masonic Pin and Certificate.

I’m so very sad about Hugh’s death, but I plan to see him when I get to heaven. We had our church group of kids who ran around together in our teens. We celebrated our weddings and welcoming each other’s children into the world. I have many happy memories of our lives together. I have remembered his dear family in my prayers. I believe he is enjoying the time together with family and friends who are with him.
