Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
It was with great sadness that I learned of Hugh’s passing. He was a wonderful and wise man. He will be greatly missed.
I worked with Hugh quite a few years, he was one fine individual. He gave advice when needed, but done it in a way you didn’t mind being told!
Mr. Herring was the Captain in the Lab when I began working there in 1972. He was a great man and one that I always had a lot of respect for. I am sorry that he is gone. May God comfort you at this time.
