Read MoreDr. Hume was my OB in 1964-1965. He saved my life, along with Dr Kendall. My appendix ruptured when I was 8 mo pregnant. I was 19. My grandmother babysat for him & she called him. He told her to bring me to the hospital & he said it was a close call. When I went into labor a month later, he was out of town, so Dr Ritzenthaler delivered my daughter, Yvette. Loved him! He was a very nice man. Loved Dr Ritzenthaler too.

To the family: Dr. Hume was my Mom's doctor (Joy Hadden, RIP 3/23/2008). He delivered 4 of her 6 babies. He was so important in her life, that even I still know his name. Baby #1 Jill Hadden Helms.

God Bless Dr. Hume & Family. Not only did he deliver my 2nd son, but I was his "one in a million" patient. Thinking that I was in labor (7 days past my due date), I actually was having an appendicitis attack. He saved both mine & my son's lives. I was blessed to have him as my doctor.

Dr. Hume delivered my first son, and as a young anxious Mother, I couldn't understand WHY he was out walking his dog!! A thoughtful memory just the same.
May the Lord comfort and bess you, give you strength through this difficult time.

Dear Ann and Bill,
I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Hume's passing. He was one of my doctors when I delivered my daughter in 1981. Whenever a good man goes, the community suffers a loss. The journey of loss is not easy, but is necessary. The good thing is that he is with the Lord, and you can go to him.
May the Lord comfort abd strengthen you and your family in the days ahead. May you rest in Him, knowing that your loved one is in the Master's hand.
You are in my...

I had no idea that Dr. Hume had led such an interesting and illustrious life. Until I read his obituary, all I knew was that he had touched my life and those of my family which would have been enough for me. One of those 6000 plus babies was my son, “Fono� aka "Joe" Walters. Thank you, Dr. Hume for that…and for letting me be in the delivery room without attending classes…and for letting me hang out with Trish that night until the hospital threw me out…and….uh….for suggesting...
