To the family & friends of Hugh Macpherson,
I feel blessed to have had Hugh as a loving friend for many years. I remember his sensual nature, his high regard for the creative process,and his sense of playfulness. His generousity of spirit has touched me deeply and influenced me in ways that continue to unfold and enrich my life. I will continue to carry Hugh in my heart and nurture my creativity to honour his spirit and his high regard for the most complex dance of all dances . . . the improvisition that is life.
As I contemplate the natural wonder and movement around me, I will remember Hugh and feel his presence.

To the family & friends of Hugh Gordon Macpherson,
Hugh was a large and endearing part of my life as a teenager and young adult. As the story goes, my big sis, Mary-Lee Merz, returned from Switerzerland after studying French for several years. However, she did not return alone and had a man in tow. His name was Hugh. Following his first visit to Mary-Lee's childhood home in Tacoma, Washington, to meet "the Merz family, Hugh became one of the gang! His easy manner and obvious love for Mary-Lee won us over, including my father Lee, and that's saying a lot! As the years went by there were many wonderful times spent with Hugh and I will forever hold these memories near and dear to my heart. He made such an impact on me and I feel rich for having known such a lovely guy.
I'd like to share some thoughts and observances about the Hugh that I will always remember! He was kind, witty, gentle and intelligent. A great conversationalist with an interesting perspective! He also possessed the curiosity and wonder of a child! If he picked up an apple to eat, before doing so, he would first study it and appreciate its shape and texture.
Another amazing attribute about Hugh was how multi-talented he was. He was just simply very good at most everything that he did, whether it be building a beautiful stained glass chess set or performing a dance. I'm sure that he was an outstanding day trader too (as a stock trader of over 50 years my dad would've admired Hugh's entry entry into the world of capitalism)! We've all heard the expression "jack of all trades, master of none." Whatever Hugh chose to do, he did well! He was also quite unique and common at the same time!
There will never be another human being like Hugh Macpherson and the world will not be the same without him. His laughter, his smile, his creativity, his intelligence and his love for his fellow man have made quite an impact on many people. In his own way, on his own terms, he made a difference to all that knew and loved him! What a gift from one friend to another, and how grateful I shall always remain! Hugh lives on.......
