Hugh was predeceased by his wife, Patricia Muir (nee Wadden), who passed June 4, 2004. Hugh was commonly known as Junior to friends and family. Hugh is survived by all his children, Marlene, Robert, Keith, Lyn and Lisa. Hugh also has four grandchildren, Rikki, August, Rocco, and Daniel. Hugh has many Nephews and nieces with a special thank you to Ernie, Karen and Hal for their love and support for our Father. Numerous friends and relatives are not mentioned, but we are thinking of you from the bottom of our hearts.
