I am so sorry to hear of Hugh`s death he came by to see me less than two weeks ago. He was a close dear friend ever sense we met in high school. We joined the airforce together and went through basic training together. when he came by to see me he talked about his children and about how proud he was of how well they were doing. Hugh talked about how much he enjoyed his trip a year or so ago to see his daughter and son in law and the huge farm [ranch] they live on.He also talked about what a great hunter his daughter had become. Hugh was also looking forward to comeing back to visit and seeing the additional land that you recently purchased. I am so sorry that I wasn`t there to be with you I had left early thursday morning to go to Flordia and did not know about Hugh until I got on the computer and pulled up the obitusries.My email address is [email protected] please send me what happened to Hugh.
