Not only was he handy, but he was a great cook and baker, with Syrup Cake being one his specialties. But above all, Hugh was a family man and the love for his them was greatest to him. He cherished every moment with his grandchildren, who lovingly call him Pop. Hugh leaves behind many fond memories that will always be remembered by all who knew and loved him.
