Hugh was my best friend in school at Union Twp. HS. We entered the 1st Grade together and graduated together in 1951. He was a dear friend of my childhood and endearing companion of my youth. I extend his family my deepest sympathy and I am sure he was beloved which emotion I share. Our time so quickly eludes us as our past recollections soon become a tomorrow which soon can never be.
