Hugh enjoyed t he time he spent in his workshop and we know that he is already fixing the gate of Heaven while watching over us. His passions were his time spent with his family, golfing and travelling. Hugh was a wonderful example of determination and unconditiona l love. He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.
