Passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family, at St. Joseph’s Hospice, on Saturday, March 30, 2019, at the age of 71, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. Loving husband and best friend of Mary Elizabeth (McComb) Jones for 47 years. Beloved father of Shane, Jeremy and Ryan (Rebecca). Adored by his 2 grandchildren, Ethan and Annabelle.
Hugh started as an Electrical Operator at Ontario Hydro in January, 1973. Over his 44 years in Woodstock, North Bay, Niagara Falls, London and Barrie, Hugh was known as a trusted co-worker, friend and mentor.
The family would like to take the opportunity to thank Valary and Yolanda, the nurses who cared for Hugh at home and the entire staff at St. Joseph’s Hospice, that provided comfort and care during his final days.
A special thanks to Dr. Stacie Kling. Her dedication, compassion, wisdom and empathy helped Hugh and his family through this trying time.
A Celebration of Life will be conducted at the ILDERTON COMMUNITY CENTRE, 13168 Ilderton Road, Ilderton, Ontario, on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at 2:00 p.m., with visitation two hours prior.

Dean CampbellI met Hugh for the first time back in 2004 when all the remaining electrical operators for Hydro One where transferred to Barrie.
I hit it off with Hugh right away as did many of us as he was such a nice guy! Very easy to talk to with a laid back manner that serviced him well through the years.
Hugh was very knowledgeable about his job and in particular the SW Ontario part of the electrical system. He enjoyed sharing his knowledge with everyone and particularly with the young operators. His experience was invaluable and the fact that he liked to share that knowledge with others made him that more special of a person.
Hugh always treated me with respect as he did everyone he met or worked with.
There are not many “gentleman” in the world now a days I find but I can tell you from first hand experience that Hugh was at the top of that list!
Rest in peace my friend.
Ken & Wendy HintonDear Mary & family
We are sad to hear of Hugh’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
