I am just learning of Hugh's passing. I am deeply saddened. He was a one of a kind, dear, soul.

My heart is broken to learn of Hugh's passing. I had a hand in helping to train Hugh out of college in what I believe was the beginning of his staffing career. His presence lit up any room... he had it all and he was very humble about his good looks and talents. From first meeting Hugh... you knew you were in the presence of an extraordinary person. He respected everyone... and was kind and generous to those with the least. He was multi-talented, very hard working and he had keen business instincts... his cup ran over with class & eloquence... yes, I trained him in his very early years only to have the roles reversed when I met him head on as a bidding competitor... I enjoy telling the story of how I showed up with a proposal and Hugh showed up with operational manuels... he beat me hands down & fair & square... I learned a ton from Hugh that day. It was clear Hugh was destined for mega success from the very beginning. He was a gorgeous man and a great loss...

Howard Conant, it is never to late to express your appreciation for Hugh and the wonderful things he did in life, especially those for others. Thank you very much for your kind words and thoughts about my brother, Hugh Adam Farrington. It means much that you took the time to remind us, again, what a fantastic person Hugh was to so many. Thank you.

I apologize for the lateness of this message, but Hugh was always the consummate gentleman. His vote of confidence in Urban Innovations and decision to move Seaton into our building at 372 West Ontario Street in Chicago was a key component that allowed us to survive the recurring downturns and bcome the company we are today. His death is a great loss.

I know I am late but I was actually one of Hugh's first hires at SeatonCorp/AdLab and he was a visionary and so many more things that everyone else would certainly agree. Rest in peace my dear and may the Lord keep you safe.
Elizabeth.

To all that knew and loved Hugh, I share your loss. Hugh hired me directly out of college and opened my eyes to the all that the business world had to offer. When I left Seaton, he was loyal to me in every business venture I have been involved with since. I miss him and feel very sad that I wasn't in touch over this past year. To all that raised him to be who he was... Thank you for giving us Hugh.

My dearest brother, I miss you so much. It still can't register that I will never hear your voice, see your email address pop up of my screen or feel your embrace. I keep asking why and wishing I was there for you. I hope you are at peace and perhaps Grandma Goetz is holding you close now.

I was just thinking about Hugh, as a former classmate in highschool, my deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy.He obviously lived his short life fully and with a positive force. So sorry I missed the opportunity to know him. He obviously touched many and left lingering fond memories with many.
