Not sure what to say?

I didn't know Mr. Kennedy very well. Our paths crossed briefly when I dated his oldest daughter in 1971, but he was fair minded and honest...two qualities I respect very much. I just recently heard of Mr. Kennedy's passing although he died 10 years ago. He will be missed

I am so sorry to hear of Hugh's passing. I stopped by to see him on Christmas Eve - unfortunately we didn't connect.
I enjoyed knowing Hugh over the years.
God Bless your family at this sad time.

Margaret and Marcia, I am sorry for your loss. I worked with your Dad at one time and enjoyed his sense of humor. Your good memories will become precious comforts as you go through this sorrow. May it help to know that others care.

I had the pleasure of knowing Hugh when we were both involved with productions at Port City Playhouse. Hugh and I had the male leads in "God's Favorite," a comedy by Neil Simon. What fun we had presenting that play! Hugh was such a very compassionate, dedicated man who savored life. It was such a pleasure to have know him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I had the great opportunity of working directly with Hugh for many years before his retirement. At a personal level, he was more than my immediate boss but was truly a mentor and a friend for many years.
