I met Hugh only once. It was at my son Steven's wedding this past August. Steven married one of Hugh's "special girls", Katrina. Just shy of 27 years ago, I held my baby boy in my arms and my wife and I prayed that God would provide the perfect match for him when he grew up. We had no idea that Hugh would play an important role in answering our prayer. Through his sacrifice, provision, and love for Katrina, he blessed us with a wonderful, thoughtful, caring daughter-in-law. Though I didn't know Hugh, I believe that over time I will get to know him through his granddaughter Katrina. From one loving dad to another, I thank you Hugh. May God's peace, comfort and love be with Terri, the entire family and friends as you all celebrate, reminisce, and remember Hugh's life together.
You were my daughter Devin Kent only grandpa left. She loved you greatly.. I learned Alot from you and our conversations. I enjoyed our lunches and conversations and laughed the first day Rodney brought me to your house in Palo you asked me how old I was and then said (at least this one is over 18). I used to enjoy going to your different work sites and watching you do concrete work. Then talking with you when it was lunch time. Thank you for always taking the time to talk and teach me things in concrete. And just our personal talks. You will be missed by me and your granddaughter Devin Kent and your great grandkids Eliza and Keiran Kent.
You both look so happy on his birthday. He will be missed. He was a good man and honest man. Hugs deanna
Uncle Pudge, such a kind, caring loving man. I remember going to moms on weekends just to end up spending the weekend with you and Aunt Terry. Those were some of my best childhood memories. I loved you so much. I truly hope you knew that. As I grew we didn't see or talk much. Sometimes life happens that way. But you was always in my heart.
Thinking of you at time
Im going to miss going to the amish benifit lunchs spending most of my time just looking for you, i didnt get to see you as much as i wanted but i love grandpa, im really glad you were able to meet your great grandchildren Keiran and Eliza. You will be missed by so many ❤❤
I wish we were kids again. Climbing the crab apple tree with all the neighbor kids,playing in the hay loft in Snyder's barn and catching polywags in the creek. Good memories
I will always remember going to the races at MIS with Hugh and Rollie!! Great memories and friends! Rest In Peace "old man"!
