Being the younger brother of Gloria Kimme nee Quick, I will always be thankful & have the warmest memories of Hughie. The manner in which he & Virginia cared for my niece & nephew following Jerry & Gloria's sudden & tragic deaths bordered on sainthood. Although a very hard worker, construction work in the area was not always steady, but even with the added burden and cost of caring for their newly orphaned grandchildren, Hughie & Virginia always made sure that their family never lacked for anything. God bless you Hughie as He takes you into His home.
