Hugh Kearns

Probably the best man I ever knew. All of him. Meeting him in my late 20's and realising he was my first cousin changed me forever. He and his family were and still are uplifting. I miss him every day and always will. Lots of love to the Kearns I hope I see you again. (I will)

Dear Mrs Kearns : My condolence to you on the loss,I will remember him alwaya's . God bless all of his family. My prayers go out to each and everygone of you . I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.

Dear Cousin Hugh
You put more in to the world than you ever took out of it. We will miss you very badly, but the family you created remains and provides a greater testimony to you than words ever can. We were so pleased to see you with Vera in Dublin.
Love to the Kearns family

Vera and all the wonderful children you birthed to help make our family what it is today. The cousins get together en mass and natter and reminiss over a pint of guinness or maybe a cuppa tea and a biscuit (who am I kidding) it sounded good. I thought of what would be appropriate to say at this time and I remembered a quote from way back "Death give you heartaches no one can feel....Love brings you memories no one can steal." Hughie will be missed for many things; his jokes his smile his toothpick his----his----his----they only print certain words so feel free to fill in the blanks. My only wish right now is that Hughie is filling Matt in with everything thats been going on down here and that Matt is helping Hughie through his process without any of his practical jokes we all know what pranksters they could be. Love and prayers always Margaret.

Vera and family ,I am so sorry to hear to hear of Hughies passing .We were supposed to come up to see him and yourself before we left for Georgia but time and circumstances did not allow us to come up .Now much to our regret we missed the chance to talk and listen to one of the great story tellers ever to come out of Belfast. The whole Kearns family are truly one of a kind and I know Hughies legacy will live on as he surely would want it '.Once again sincere condolences Billy and Marj Magee Cumming Georgia

We will never forget you Uncle Hughie. We have lots of memories of our times together and we are especially glad we had the opportunity to take you to Ardglass on your last trip home. We can still visualise you and Auntie Vera, dressed in your winter coats, hats & gloves and lovingly wrapped round each other to keep warm. It was a fun day and we could hardly talk as the wind blew so hard in the harbour. Fond fond memories we will cherish. Love and miss you lots..

Vera & Family,
Peace and strength to you all during this time remembering the life of Hughie. Certainly Ryan has inherited his whit! He passed on his blue "irish eyes" to both Grace and Emily. As Hughie would say "God Bless".

I've many fond memories of Hugh from my time spent in California to the time he spent in Belfast and I have to say he’s a real role model of mine. In life some talk the talk, some walk the walk but I’m pretty sure Hugh wrestled the damn thing into submission, if we all lived half the life he did we could all say we lived full ones!
He was a great man who will always be in my thoughts and forever will be someone I can look to for inspiration.

Dear Vera and family,
I was startled to hear of Hugh's passing at Mass on Sunday. Know that the love and prayers of so many surround you. What wonderful memories he leaves!

To the Kearns family,
We are very sad to hear of the passing of Hugh. He was one in a million in many ways. He may be gone, but never
forgotten. Our love and prayers are with you, now and always.

As I reflect on my journey through life, there are many fond memories and events that bring joy to me that would not have happened without you. For this I thank you. For the opportunity to work for you as a child picking apricots and the fun we had as cousins throwing them at each other from the trees, I thank you. For the abundance of family BBQs and gatherings at the ranch that I wish my children could experience, I thank you. For the endless nights of billiards over in Carriage Square, I thank you. For my first real job as an electrical apprentice (AKA go-for), I thank you. For the stories you told and the laughter you shared, I thank you. For the e mails we shared after my dad died, I thank you. For the hours you spent telling my children stories of my dad, I thank you. For being a wonderful uncle, boss, friend and confidant. I thank you. For so much more, I thank you. I will truly miss you. slán grá Seán

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To the kearns family,
All of you I am praying for your peace and your strength at this sad and difficult time. My prayers go out to each and everyone of you. May Uncle Hughie rest in peace and Look over all of us he has left behind, I am praying for a certain peace with his passing, May he be holding me da tight.....I will always cherish how he taught me how to fall off a horse and dry out apricots during my summers, the great fruit fights at the ranch with my cousins, and his famous story to me, how he got pulled over by the C.H.P. for speeding, he said to the officer, all the other friggers are going just as fast why did you pick me? the officer said "sir have you ever gone duck hunting"? And Uncle Hughie replied" yes, then the officer said, why did you shoot that one duck, and Uncle Hughie said" where do I sign". He was a great story teller, true to be that....I will miss him and his stories....God bless all of his family who find their struggles to be to much, he will be missed..
much love and God Bless

Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
