Hugh was a kind and gentle soul. I think his heart was always thinking of Briar Island. He never spoke unkind of anyone.It was always a pleasure working with him at the Trade Center and Metro Center. We will miss you Hugh. Our thoughts are with his family.

Gerard, as people called him here in Halifax, was a good friend. My mother (J.) and I (C.) met him through Andrea Atkinson. We will all miss him.
Take care, and God Bless you all.

Arden, Deanna and your families
I am so sorry to hear of Hugh's passing. We spent a lot of time talking together in Grades 11 and 12 and I enjoyed that time.

Dear DERBY Family,
I met Gerard almost 23 years ago because I commented on a hair style and was told "Go see Gerard". So I did and needless to say was sorry when he stopped cutting hair.
Gerard was so easy to be with, a very quiet, gentle, unassuming kind of guy. I too shared his love for flowers/ photography and treasure some of his great shots of dahlia's from the Public Gardens.
We had many chats at the kiosk where I worked and will miss him.
I remain friends with Andrea Atkinson ( I met through Gerard) and share some happy memories.

So sorry to read about Hughie's passing. We used to play together when we were kids. 2 years ago I met him at a craft show and it was good to see him again after a lot of years. Deanna and Arden, please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your brother.

Deanna & Charlie & Mike

Hugh was a very generous brother. Mike got up on his lap the first afternoon he got here in December, something he has never done at any time. Animals have great instincts. We will miss him at Christmas, he came down seven out of the eight years since we moved to Florida. Always put the tree and decorations up, wrapped for Charlie and brought many gifts, including several for the cat.
Love,
Deanna & Charlie
