John Edward Hughes

Johnny died this morning with his family at his side. He was 90. Johnny was Wallace's (Hugh's daddy for those of you who don't know and are interested ~~ Wallace's mama was Ellen Hughes) first cousin, fought in WWII in Europe and was the Hughes family patriach. He organized the Hughes family reunion (decendants of John and Clara Hughes) from the beginning since before Suzanne was born. His daughter, Mary Helen, and son, Eddie are continuing the tradition.

He was always ready with a smile and a warm embrace. He was a wonderful , vibrant man, full of life, love and laughter. He was an important person in our lives. He was one of those people who made a difference.

I will miss him. We all will.
