Dear Mr. McHugh,
I remember the first time that Stephen brought me in Nashua for sunday brunch. You teached me how to grill the bacon and you said that since I was very good i would be always in charge to grill the bacon!
i will never forget!!!
with love

Uncle Jim,
I decided to take you up on that lunch you promised me this fall. I sat at a small table looking over a golf course with your picture and the quarter you gave me as a gift long ago. It was a quiet lunch but wonderful for me. I thought of all the hugs you gave me. Thank you for taking such special care of me.
One of your "Favorite" Nieces,

Dad,

Almost one moth has passed and it seems like yesterday we were on the back deck discussing the next golf match.Life throws some mean curve balls once in a while for sure.
You are greatly missed,cherished and thought of often but the one thing you will never be is...........forgotten.

Thanks for making me who I am.

Love, Stephen

Stephen, Jay & Billy,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I have such great soccer memories of both your parents. Tell your Dad to say hi to my Dad up in heaven too. I wonder if they've bumped in to Mike Flanagan up there?
Best wishes,
Kathy

Dear Jay,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

All my best to the family,
When Mr McHugh would tell me on the sidelines to go out and "get the ball !" He instilled in me great confidence. He made me feel as though I was his special guy and only I could be trusted to perform this task. I believed this.......and so did everyone else he said it to. I will miss him, but think fondly of him always. Sean T. Conlon

Mr. McHugh,
You always had an encouraging word, funny story and genuine interest in me every time our paths crossed. I will always remember our soccer years and your way of making me feel like I was the best thing ever, on and off the field . The world is missing a man who added to the lives of others. You will be missed !!

Jim, you have truly been blessed. To have found love twice, and to have raised, along with Pat, three great kids. You will be greatly missed.

I am so saddened to learn of Jim's passing and send my sincerest sympathy to the boys and his wife, Nancy and her family. I worked with Jim's first wife, Pat in the telephone company many years ago and we were good friends. In fact, my husband and I went to Pre-Cana before our weddings together. I was so happy that Jim had remarried after Pat died. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in these very sad and difficult days ahead. Rest in peace, Jim. God bless you all. Peggy (O'Brien) Bedell

My condolences to the family of Jim who was married to my cousin Nancy. Jim was a wonderful husband, father, brother and friend to many people and will be sadly missed. He had a great sense of humor and tried to make everyone laugh and smile all the time with his stories. We had lots of fun and laughs since he came into the Duval family and wonderful, happy get togethers. Jim never lost his humor and positive attitude even though he was not feeling so chipper lately. So sorry to say good bye and my love and sympathy to your loving families. Cousin Eileen Feeney
