Carolann and I go back with Hugh when he was with Pete Bongiorno and Bill Kattak way before he attained the lofty status that he ultimately and rightfully enjoyed. My Father knew him from Democratic Politics. He never changed. I enjoyed having a drink with him at the Bar at Upper Montclair Country Club catching up on war stories, family, friends and restaurants. Even though we kind of lost contact later, I often thought of him and remember him in conversations with friends and colleagues always.
Regrettably,we found out late Wednesday afternoon of his passing so we wear unable to attend any of the services. Needless to say we were reminiscing about him at UMCC today. And so Carolann and I offer our own tearful tribute to him. He will be missed and remembered.
