To the Davis family and Lynda and family, You have our sympathy on the loss of Hugh. I remember how he treated my parents with kindness, when they lived above the PUC . He had to open the bathroom window from the outside, when 2 of our daughters (2 and 4)locked themselves in the bathroom!He was always friendly. He did his “job” with the PUC with foresight. Think of the happy memories. Prayers, George and Sue Wilson and family
