Judy, Ginger and Gary. I was not fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with Hugh, But what time I did have with him was most enjoyable. My opinion of Hugh is only enhanced by my knowledge and friendship with you.
This is the saddest part of life when we have to say goodbye to the ones we love the most. But as time passes we still have all of the great moments to look back on and I know they are plentiful with you.
Life gives us all these sad moments, but it also leaves some very special memories that we will enjoy forever wit our friends and family.
God bless you all..
All – I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for peace and comfort.

We are so sorry to hear the passing of Hugh. He was a long time friend of our family. Our memories of the grocery store business when he and dad worked together in Tucker. Dad (Jimmy Gresham) recently passed and I can only imagine the celebration going on in heaven with them two being together. We celebrate the homegoing of these two special men.
Hugh, you are forever etched into the precious memories of my heart. The years and stories we’ve shared at Carmax. The lige lessons, stories about Bosco and the threats to tell Judy that you were misbehaving. Although, my heart is saddened by your transition I rejoice with you as you are in heaven.
