Grandpa, You will be missed by all that knew you. I have so many great memories of time spent with you and grandma to last my lifetime and I have already begun sharing them with my children. I am blessed to be part of this family.
May God bless you as you pass through the pearly gates.
I Love and miss you Grandpa!!

It was a pleasure to have known Hugh for many, many years beginning when I was first in Boy Scouts. That was longer ago than I care to remember. But the mories of Hugh are plentiful--including one of his more dubious endavors--the founding of the North Marin Breakfast Club of which I am still a member. This group gave him a ready forum for his delightful humor. He will be missed by all of us who know him.

My condolences to the family.

I had the honor of working for HT at KTIM in the 60s and I am so pleased I got to renew our friendship over the past 2 years. A wonderful man who will be greatly missed.

My condolences to Richard, Ron and Irene.

I had the pleasure of serving on the Novato City Council with Hugh from 1983 -87. He was a delight - always a gentleman - and a wonderful voice and presence. He made a great contribution to the City of Novato and helped shape its current status as one of the best places to live.
I called him a few years ago up in Paradise and had a delightful time swapping memories. He will be missed.
