Hugh was my step father. He entered my life when I was 12. It was a pivotal time in my life and to say he changed my life for the better is an understatement. Hugh was a steadfast, caring and patient dad to our “little” blended family with 7 kids. What were Hugh and mom thinking?! I don’t know but, I’m the better for it.
Some of my fondest memories are of the nine of us crammed in a car traveling around Europe. There were so many one-of-a -kind experiences and they define who I am today.
I’ll always be grateful for the times our family shared; and I’m especially thankful to Hugh for stepping in and turning my life around.
My prayers for your family. Hugh was a wonderful person and husband to my mom. He loved you boys so much and was so very proud of each of you. And his eyes would light up when he spoke of the grandchildren.

My father in my early years was gone a lot, at that time I didn't understand that he was off fighting for my country. I just remember the excitement my brothers and I felt when he would return. It was like pure joy! Of course to me he appeared to be the largest man ever. When we drove cross country from California to Florida he gave us each turns sitting on his lap "driving" the car down the highway. I still love long road trips, the journey is the destination.
