Richard Lee Hughes

Rich, Though we met only a few times, you remain unforgettable, a class, act, Academy mentor for our daughter and patriarch of a wonderful family May god bless and keep you.

Rich was my roommate second semester senior year at the Air Force Academy. We were friends and I admired him for his accomplishments. His sudden death caught us by surprise and our hearts and prayers go out to Georgeann and his family. He will certainly be missed by us and all his `67 Tranquil Twelve classmates.

May you take comfort from all the joyful memories and in the laughter and love you shared over the years.

Richard, thank you for sharing your life and wisdom in our Sunday School Class and as a friend. You helped me grow as a husband and father.

Rich was an outstanding person and follower of Jesus. Gracious and of good cheer, highly respected and a man of solid integrity. His leadership was always focused on how the team or group or committee could work together to achieve shared success. Rich will be missed by the wide community of beloved First Presbyterian Church friends and family.
