I worked at Philips Petroleum and had the pleasure of working for Hugh: a class act. Thanks.

Hugh was my manager at Phillips Petroleum back in the early 1980s when I worked in the Frontier Exploration Group in Houston. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Dear Jeannie,
I found this obituary just now. I think of you often. I somehow lost touch with you after my mom passes away. My heart and prayers are with you. Please give me a call at 253 495-1880.
Love,

Hugh was my boss at Phillips Petroleum back in the 1990s. He was a great guy and a very good leader. He had a way of getting things done without a bunch of fanfare. I loved his sense of humor! He will be missed by many geoscientists throughout the Houston area.

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Hugh. He was a wonderful friend and family man. Although we haven't seen him in awhile, we often think about Hugh, Jean, Bill and Todd. We have many happy memories of them. Ghanim has many fond memories of his friendship and work with Hugh in Abu Dhabi and Jakarta. I missed the Abu Dhabi part but I have memories of them in Indonesia and in the states.
We pray that Jean and the boys will have a gentle period of grief that quickly turns to only happy memories of Hugh.
With our condolences and best wishes,
Ghanim and Carolyn Naayem

My best wishes ot Hughs family and friends. I worked with him at Phillips for a few years. He was a class act with a sly smile. I enjoyed seeing him at the X-Phillips Luncheon. I know he will be attending the X-Phillips Luncheon in the Sky.

We will remember Hugh singing along with Sugar and Spice (trying to steal the show), his love for the CUMC choir, his love for you, and his pride in his kids.
Our hearts are with you, Jean, and your family.

Please accept our sympathy. Hugh was a nice man that we knew from our years at Phillips Petroleum. We were always happy to see him at the ex-Phillips get-togethers over the years. His presence will be missed.

Since your sad and heartfelt call, Jeanne, Glenne and I have been remembering such good times with you and Hugh. He was always a gentleman. He was always up for a meal somewhere. And we always enjoyed his passion for life and music. With heartfelt condolences, Glenn and Gail Korfhage
