HUGH LARKIN

Max & Dillon... Brother Hugh would have been so proud of the two of you yesterday, I was. Your thoughts, stories and songs were so beautifully shared that his presence was definitely felt. Find peace that he is in a much better place and model his love for life as you both now head out on your own great adventures.

Beth,Dillon and Max

Hugh's Memorial was truly a family affair. It was very special to everybody. Dillon and Max your Dad would be very proud. People came from near and far and you guys made it all happen. Great tribute to who your dad really was and what he gave to all of us. He will be missed but we will always have the memories. Like Uncle Paul said very well, Hughie always lived in the moment and we all need to do a better job of that.

Love you Guys

Uncle...

Beth and family...The news of Hugh's death made me so sad but my memories of him are all of fun and laughter. You are in my thoughts. Sincerely, Kathy Anderson

Dear Beth,Dillon and Max,
I am going to be politically correct as the last one did not make it through the filter.
Hugh,the half back,wrestler,track star,crack golfer,fight breaker upper, hunter,biker,runner,water skier,off the wall humorist,esperpentic pranster,extreme sportsman,fearless leader and trail blazing explorer...Active...not at all sendentary...a father and husband who loved by,of and from freedom...The forever young and unrepressed kid...a void has been created.

Beth, Dillon, Max, Emily, Char, and all of your extended families,
I will always remember Hughie as Char's handsome, athletic older brother from grade & high school, not the one who teased us (that was Tommy), but the one who traveled through life with a smile on his face (except when playing football) and Beth always by his side. May your memories of him be sweet and peaceful.

Dear Beth,Dillon,Max:
The photo is spot on, particularly since Hugh never really seemed to change much. He was always ready as Zorba or Thunder to romp and wrestle He never seemed to worry about tomorrow like the rest of us. We have all learned something from him and are blessed to have known and loved him.
Paul

Beth, Dillon, and Max

I am so sorry for your loss. The way your whole family pulled together to support Hugh was inspiring to me. I feel blessed to have known all of you. Hugh was clearly a very special person. And, he leaves a wonderful legacy in Max and Dillon. Beth you are so gracious and lovely; my prayer for you is that you find peace in the wonderful memories of your life with Hugh.

Hughie Larkin. The mention of his name stirs so many memories and emotions. A big brother to Kelly and a big brother to me too at times, even though I was not an official Larkin. He was always looking out for us and making sure we were not into too much mischief. I looked up to Hughie not because he was every grade-school girls mad crush, but because he was a genuine and caring person. The term "Million Dollar Smile" has been used for years, but I think Hughie's ear to ear grin went way...

To Beth and the extended family of Lakins from Tacoma:
I was a few years older than Hugh but knew him well. His older brother Pat and I were classmates at Bellarmine. When Hugh started his Physician practice on North I street in Tacoma, I went to him for a Physical and we had a good talk about growing up in Tacoma. My prayers are with you at this time of great loss of a life that ended too soon.
