  89. Grace Speth

    To Hugh’s family, I remember Hugh when we were just young and he lived in Oxford. Saturday evening was a busy time in town and it seemed everyone was out and about. Always enjoyed seeing Hugh – he was friendly with everyone, including those of us from the country. If I remember correctly his Dad was Chief of Police in Oxford back then. Lost contact with the Oxford kids over the years, but glad to see that Hugh had a loving family and obviously never lost his “nice guy” status. Treasure your memories! Thinking of you folks with sincere sympathy, Grace Speth
