Dear Jude and family, I am sorry to hear of your loss. You will all be in our prayers. God’s peace be with you,
Dear Mrs. Morse & Family: Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family for the passing of Hugh. He was such a wonderful person who has touched all of our lives in so many ways and here are just a few to mention: He was always there for my dad (Eugene Florio) and my mom (Antoinette Florio) whenever they needed help. Plowing the driveway during the cold winter snow storms, to helping with any projects that needed to be done around the house. I remember when he took me on vacation and taught me how to catch trout among other things. When I had my daughters he made them a beautiful doll cradle for their dolls that they still have today and have saved for their children. Hugh was a wonderful man who was my dad’s best friend and was always giving of himself to help others. He will be truly missed and remembered by us all. With all our Love, Prayers and Sympathy,
