Our condolences to the entire family and to his partners and staff at LTKE. Hugh will certainly be missed by all of us who worked in this field of criminal defense. Time is certainly fleeting but Hugh's life is a wonderful example of how to find joy and satisfaction in the time we are given.

So very sorry to hear of Hugh´s passing. He was truly a wonderful, caring, very talented man! Hugh was a great friend to my brother Jack and to our entire family. His obituary is beautiful and sums up Hugh perfectly. He lived to help and indeed, he helped many. All the Learys loved him and his family dearly! With deep sorrow, Sandi Leary Edwards
