Hugh was always a guiding light. He will be missed.

Hugh was an inspiration. During his dozen years at Queen's his quicksilver mind and positive attitude were helpful and stimulating to me in countless ways. I cherish many happy memories of those years, including an epic whitewater paddle down the Madawaska River in May 1971 (see uploaded photo).
With heartfelt condolences,

Wynne,
We always got along well in the department and I especially enjoyed looking at the maps strewn about on the floor of your office. It just made it fun.
You went too soon, but you lived a full life, complete with awards for your many outstanding achievements.
Rest in peace, good buddy.

I worked with Hugh when he was head of BC Research. What a wonderful man. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Hugh Wynne-Edwards became an influence in my life when he stepped in and raised BC Research Inc. out of bankruptcy. His vision allowed the Forest Biotechnology Centre to flourish and the result was the expression of world-class science and the growth of many young scientists who came through the Centre. Hugh was a good and decent man. I am honored to have been part of his life's journey.

I knew Hugh both from Queen's and the federal government. We were ADMs in different departments at roughly the same time in the 80s, and I had huge respect for his intellect and decency. He also had a wonderful wry sense of humour which I appreciated. My sympathy to his family on this great loss of a fine human being.

I had the pleasure of working for Hugh just after he co-purchased BC Research. He was one of the nicest, brightest men I have ever worked for. He was a true gentleman and a very kind man. I am blessed with this experience. Big hug for you Hugh. Sincerely, Marion Webber
