I knew Hugh well and considered him a friend of mine. We knew each other back when he worked with Fredrickson Motor Lines and I worked for Mason Dixson I know he will be missed by all his friends and family. A good Man.
David and Family, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your Father. We regret we missed the service but we only heard of this on Monday. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Claire Marie..Sorry to hear of your loss..
David, sorry to here about the loss of your father. You spoke of him often and I know he will be missed. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I went to school with David from 1-12th grade and it was very evident that he looked up to his Dad. My brother, Travis lives across the road from the McIntyres and even their 4 yr old son Bryson loved him. At Christmastime he wanted to go take ‘Hu and Mawee’ a present.
My deepest sympathy to you all.
I really enjoyed the time i got to spend with Hugh. he and i went to BLET together in 1991 and both worked in Asheville. I am truly sorry for your loss but to think where he is now!!!! I pray that God will comfort you during your time of need.
