David and Codding family, so many fond memories of growing up as neighbors and friends. I will never forget Easter egg hunts at the house, endless swimming, holidays in Hawaii and rowing the canoe in the lake. Thinking of you at this time.

To the Codding family, my condolences for your loss.
Hugh was an an inspiration to many, a man who didn't know the meaning of the word, "no." Though he leaves a grieving family, he reunites with friends and family who have gone before him. May he rest in Peace.
