Paul M. Hughes

I go back with Paul a long time in Bike Racing and he was the greatest and most enthusiastic guys. I even used to stop by your house during my rides from Longmeadow. We sort-of lost contact when there were less long races for older riders, but I will never forget him! He was such a nice person. Please accept my humble condolences.

Diana, my sincerest sympathies for your loss. Paul was a great friend, I thought of him often when I rode, now I will never ride without thinking of him.Please know that you, Paul and your family are in my prayers. Paul Lichtenberger

You know a man is great when you don't know him, yet you feel the gravity of his presence even in abscense. This news is the toughest news to swallow because it hits home.

I have met Paul back in 2006 regarding establishing my own business. I still remember the conversations and the advise.
Paul would be proud to know that I made the step last Month.
Thank you and Rest In Peace!

One mile later he was back in the front few positions, ready to sprint for the finish, and he often won. I...

RIP Paul, you were a great example for all of us at the Laurel Bike Club

I met Paul during his CSBDC years, one of the "miracles" he observed. He inspired many of us to succeed in our endeavors, connecting small businesses with each other whenever he could. Even when his position changed and I was no longer a client, he continued to be supportive and often had helpful advice when I saw him at chamber events. He was a rare individual, who will be sorely missed by many of us in the business community. My deepest sympathies to his family.
