My memories of Dick are from when I was a high school aged girl some 30 years ago, when he and Pat were neighbors of ours, and also attended our church: St. Patrick's. I would often babysit in the Hughes home for their lovely children, and had the upmost respect and admiration for Dick and his family. Dick was a very loving father to his wife and children and modeled a life of quiet strength and devotion to God. There was always a light in his heart that reflected the love of God to me and to those around him. He was a great listener, and encourager, and helped me in my personal journey of faith by being a role-model of the kind of husband and father that was a blessing to his wife and children. I will always remember him as a Godly mentor to me at a time in my life where I was struggling with the normal things of growing up and leaving home. Dick and Pat's home was a place I felt God's love in, because Dick carried a light in his heart for God that shown. I'm sure that many others could say the same about Dick! He was a man that made a difference in this world, just by being who God made him to be and shining God's candle in this world! He will be missed by many! With God's Blessings to Pat and their lovely children, at this time of Dick's being called home to be with his Father in Heaven. From Corinne Kelly Avery
