Aunt Lorna and Uncle Hugh were nice people. I wish I would have had more to do with them both. - Posted by: Scott Miner (Nephew) on: Apr 04, 2015

Knew Hugh well. He was the second officer to whom I reported after joining Great-West Life. I learned lots of practical management skills from Hugh during 1968-1971. Saw him only infrequently after he reitired but remember his upbeat personality. In latter years missed seeing him at the annual GWL christmas lunch. A life well lived. - Posted by: Raymond McFeetors (Co-Worker) on: Dec 28, 2007
