CHARLES JOSEPH McHUGH

Retired miner Mr Charles (Charlie) Joseph McHugh (73), of Rutland Street, Mansfield, was buried at the town's cemetery after a service at St Philip Neri's RC Church. Born at Castlederg, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and educated there at Corgary School, Mr McHugh lived locally for more than 50 years. A miner for more than 35 years, he worked at many local collieries, including Clipstone, Bevercotes, Thoresby and Welbeck, until his retirement in 1993. He liked walking, socialising and current affairs, but his greatest love was being around his family. His Christian faith and family formed the essence of his life.
