Hugh’s passions included fly fishing, history, crosswords, music and watercolour painting. He is remembered for his kind and loving nature as well as his ability to make people laugh.

Hugh is survived by his beloved wife Frances (nee Devine), his adored children Madeleine (Desmond) and Vincent (Amanda) and his grandchildren Emma, Harry, Rory, Felix and Isla, who made him so very proud.
