He loved spending time with his four children, and kept a keen interest in their lives. Hugh especially loved spending time with his two grandchildren, who he loved with all his heart. He loved Celtic music, especially fiddle tunes and the bagpipes. He also enjoyed telling his kids stories of growing up at the “end of a country road” and stood strong in his roots. Thank you to the nurses, paramedics and physicians at the Emergency Department of the Aberdeen Hospital for their kind and compassionate care. Also, a very special thank you to the nurses at the Dialysis Unit in Pictou, for their kind and wonderful care given to Hugh.
