Robert Charles Hughes

At Jane's suggestion, my wife and I met Bob at Thistledowne in August 04 and were charmed by his joie de vivre. The world will miss him.

The grace with which Bob lived his life, the passion that he put into his every endeavor, and the kindness that moved him each day brought peace into the lives of those he touched. This is the gift of Bob's life that will live on in our hearts.

You are in our hearts, and our thoughts.
In light, love and peace
Hugh & Celeste Ehrenberg

Bob was such an amazing mentor and person, and will be sorely missed. "Hail to the colors...." We love you Bob

To: The Hughes Family


I will always remember Bob as a fine administrator, great colleague, and devoted alumnus of the University of Michigan. He loved his "day job", the Michigan Men's Glee Club, and Rotary. His penchance for sticking to policy and his high sense of professionalism served him well in all things. I will always be grateful for his fine works and the legacy he left behind.

Finally, Billie and I extend our deepest sympathy to the Hughes family and...

I remember Bob, both from Glee Club and from his tenure as Director of Housing. He was always there with helpful advice, or just a smile. You're in my thoughts.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'll always remember Bob's wonderful laugh and smile....I remember when we went bowling when he worked in Student Affairs and he brought his bowling ball and bag that he claimed he had not used in years....well, it was true. When he pulled his bowling shoes out of the bag, the toes were completely curled...they had been wrapped around his bowling ball. We laughed and he wore them all night and had a few gin and tonics to take away the foot pain.
