I knew Hugo from the first year when be became a student at the University of Heidelberg/Germany and when we were together in The Burschenschaft/ (Fraternity) Allemannia. He has been a very good friend through all his life, a pleasant person, good character. He loved life and the hilarious
students time in Heidelberg. After many years I could meet him once in New York City when I was visiting the Christo's Art at Central Park. Together with his lovely wife we had a nice evening in Waldorf Astoria Restaurant. Thereafter several times I have seen him and his wonderful family when he came back to the yearly events of the fraternity in Heidelberg. It has been always a great pleasure to meet with him remembering the golden times as students. My condolences go to his wife and family.
