Hugh you were one of my dearest friends in this life and you will continue to be. I still can't believe you are not here. Thank you for all the things you taught me during our friendship. I will try harder to remember and apply those teachings. Oh yeah Happy Birthday(you know mine is 3/23). Lastly I was at your house on Tues 3/17 and it was overwhelming and comforting at the same time. I will be wearing some of your clothes(shirts) now. I picked out a few that I really liked. You know the ones. So I gotta get going but I want you to know I'll always love ya buddy and sorry you had to go so soon. Thank you for leaving me Pat and Marlene. I could sit with them for hours and I feel like my closeness to you will continue with them. They are just as sweet as apple pie. I miss you.

I worked with Hugh at Lawton Bros for 12 years. I enjoyed kidding him, he had a good snese of humor. He will be missed.
