Hugh always had a way to make one smile, either a sarcastic remark, a facial expression or just a plain ole look....I miss him, we lost touch over the years since high school as I moved away from the Lansing area leaving many of my brother's in arms, Dan Beaubier, Damon Beaubier, Hugh Gunn to name a few, but these 3 stick out because we hung out together, and now all 3 are gone....I know they are having a drink and looking down on all of us, I miss Hugh, and the others and get teary thinking about all the fun we had, hope you rest in peace my brother, you always made me smile...

I have great memories of Huey in High School typing class. We had a lot of fun and had to be separated due to messing around. He was a great guy.
Prayers to the entire family, he will be missed.
