Dan Crawford Relation to Deceased: Family Friend During my childhood I have shared many great memories with Bob and his sons. Being neighbors with the Hughes family and good childhood friends with Mike, Matt and Bobby, Bob has impacted my life in many ways. Bob took me to school every morning during my time at Athena Middle School. My parents were always working in the mornings, so out of the kindness of his heart Bob offered his time to take me along with his kids. I remember Bob listening to the Rush Limbaugh radio show every morning on the way to school. I have Bob to thank for the education I received at Greece Athena Middle School. I also remember Bob whistling to the kids when it was time for them to come home for dinner, when we would be playing in the neighborhood. I am deeply saddened by his passing and I cherish the great memories I shared with him. Bob has had a positive influence on my life and I will never forget the time I spent with him. I give my sincere condolences to the Hughes family during this difficult time.

Aaron John Hughes Relation to Deceased: Uncle “I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads his white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. He is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch him until at length he hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says “There, he is gone.” “Gone where?” “Gone from my sight. That is all.” He is just as large in mast and hull and spar as when he left my side and he is just as able to bear his load of living freight to his destined port. His diminshed size is in me, not in him. And just at that moment when someone says “There, he is gone” there are other eyes watching him coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout – “Here he comes!”
