Hugh was lovely, I was a transfer student from NC and he helped me a lot to acclimate quickly to a much more demanding curriculum and more crucially to deal head on with a huge culture shock, he also gave me good college advice which I didn´t take but I still turned out very ok and he gave me the confidence I needed to get there at a very critical time, cheers!

Hugh was a great guy. We spent many years on the Weston War Memorial Scholarship Committee together and he was our son's guidance councilor. He was a true townie and will be missed by many,

I was sorry to hear about the passing of Hugh Chandler. I worked with him as a middle school counselor for a few years prior to his retirement. What I remember was his commitment to students and exceptionally high level of professionalism. It was a privilege to work with him. My thoughts and prayers are with his beloved family at this sad time.

I was sorry to hear of Mr. Chandler's passing. He was truly an exceptional man and I have many fond memories of his laughter filled visits with my parents. From New Year's Eve traditions to sailing in Marblehead, his presence was always something I looked forward to. My thoughts and prayers are with Jay, Scott and their families during this difficult time.
