Not sure what to say?

I note with sadness that the Hughes Hybrids brand appears to be gone. It was a privilege to work there.

Bob fiercely protected the reputation and quality of Hughes seeds. Midwest farmers have slightly lower prospects because of Bob´s absence.

I am profoundly saddened by Bob's passing. I offer sincere condolences to the family. Bob was a force of nature, just like his Dad, in American agriculture.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

My deepest sympathy Genevieve and family. He was always willing to sit and visit whenever we went to the farm. He will be missed by many.

Much love and caring to Genevieve and the Hughes family. Bob´s kindness and friendship will always be cherished along with so many fond memories.
