Obituary
It is with broken hearts that we announce that our beloved Hugh passed away surrounded by his family on the evening of October 31, 2021 at the age of 89. He will be forever missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, Mary Brenda Walsh “Brenda” his son’s Brad (Mary) and Jason (Ryna) and his loving granddaughters Olivia, Julia and Nicole. He was predeceased by his parents William and Robina and his 5 brothers and sisters.
Hugh was born in Glasgow, Scotland on November 21st 1931. Even though he was extremely close to his family his sense of adventure brought him to Canada where he met the love of his life Brenda. He was an avid golfer and football (soccer) fan of Liverpool F.C. and Rangers F.C. He loved running up and down the football pitch as a linesman at his sons’ games, always prepared to share his opinion with the referee. Hugh supported his family through his long-time career with DeHavilland Aircraft.
Hugh loved to travel with his family, enjoyed opening up their home to joyful parties where playing I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers at full blast was inevitable. He was a steady influence on many of the families and friends’ children, opting to babysit or help with homework after school. His loving personality and fervor for fun is what many will miss.
A celebration of life to commemorate his memory will be announced at a later date.
