So sorry that illness kept me from paying respects in person. To have known Jimmy and Phannye Huger and watched their family follow in their footsteps was to be inspired by the goodness that surrounded them. They truly earned their place in Heaven.

To the Family of Mr James Huger Sr.
I'm sure it was truly a Blessing to have Mr Huger with you for 100+ years. He was a blessing to my family mentoring my father, Allen Dixon, who returned to college in his mature years. Mr. Huger was always encouraging and supporting. It was only 3 yrs later that I enrolled and he did the same for me.

What a Man, What a Legacy!!!!
