Steve and family I am so sorry to hear of your loss. There is never a good time. I remember when he was moving and we were trying to find the furniture. I know that your father was a good man because he raised such a fine and honorable son. My prayers are with you and yours and may God Bless You. Respectfully Diane Crumley Dee Comptrollers Office

I never go to vote that I don't remember Bob Hughes. He was the election judge in Westlake and as soon as I turned 18, my mother "volunteered" me to work at the precinct polling place because Bob, she said, needed my help. Whether he did or not, he made me feel important to the process. Loved his sense of humor, too!!

Steve - very sorry to learn about your father. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but if he was anything like you then the world is a little less bright with his passing. You and your entire family will be in our prayers. All the best, Curtis Osterloh and all your friends at Scott Douglass & McConnico.

What a smart and funny man with a heart of gold!! He lived life to the fullest. I treasure the visits that I have had with him and Kay over the years in San Miguel. I always loved hearing the stories of their many adventures. Thank you for your friendship and support! I will cherish the moments that we have shared. You were one very special person in my life!

To say that RHH did not make an impact as big or bigger than life itself is an understatement. He touched so many people from different walks of life and cared for everyone as if they were truly his own family. RHH also provided lots of really sincere laughter and wildly outstanding story telling of his old HP days long gone by and those special running buddies he hung with.
Bob was a very special part of our family all of these years. We love him very much and will miss that unique style that is all Bob.
We will miss Bob more than these words can begin to convey.
Betty, Steve & Elizabeth Lammers (Dallas & Houston)

What a fantastic man! At heart he was a kind soul. I felt honored that he took a genuine personal interest in me. What a special guy.. Wise, fun loving, humorous and helpful. What can one say, except for superlatives across the board? Mr. Hughes will always be Mr. Cool to me. I will treasure the memories always and the friendship of his wonderful family. Prayers and well wishes to them all.

The world and his family has lost a great man. My thoughts are with my best friends Tammi and Steve as well as all of their loved ones. I shed a tear for you but his life was long and full of love and now he is with his God. Love y'all!!!

Sending love to his family and friends. He was truly one of a kind and will be missed. May he live through your eyes and your laughter. He would have liked that, I think.
