My condolences to Justice McHugh's family. I have fond memories of Justice McHugh telling me many stories of events, scenarios that had happened from his many years in law. I worked at Allen Guthrie McHugh & Thomas at the time and enjoyed his stories, his words of wisdom and his kind heart when he was in the office for work or mediation. I remember the kindness he showed to many, but in particular to me and my family when he took time from his schedule to attend my mother's funeral. Justice...

Tom was a valuable resource for me when I ran Joe Albright's campaign for the Supreme Court. He was one of the best lawyers that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! And a true man of faith and honor!

What a fine gentleman and justice. Thank you the life of Justice McHugh. Condolences to Judy and family.

In the early 1970´s Tom and Judy suggested that I apply to law school. I don´t know what they saw in me, but it was their encouragement that gave me the confidence to try. During the subsequent half-century I enjoyed a fascinating career in the law which would not have happened if they had not planted that seed. Justice McHugh was an exemplary jurist and a kind and thoughtful friend the memory of whom will always have a special place in my heart. My condolences to Judy and their family.

I´m so very sorry for your loss. Prayers for healing for you and your family.

I can't think of a time I didn't know Tom or you Judy, his wife. Both of you lived near my great aunt and uncle and took him to church. I also know Sandy, his sister, as we both were teachers. Tom performed my second marriage at a friend's house. Tom was not only a wonderful person but an excellent lawyer and judge. His achievements were many of which to be proud. He had the admiration of many in every endeavor. I send my sympathy to you, Judy, his wife, to your children and grandchilren. He...

I worked with Justice McHugh while I worked at the Supreme Court. Being my favorite, he also married my husband and me in the courtroom in 1990. He was a wonderful man. I´m so sorry for your loss.
