Sad, hard news. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
Hugh knew how. Not only technically, but in a human way as well; never stood on a pedestal, always very freely giving; treated everyone dearly.
I emailed with him in early days about a baby(7 shot) Luger. A few weeks passed. The mail showed up with a spring and special parts for controlling the recoil spring assembly, new custom spring and strut. I told him that I would even out, he just kinda laughed a don't worry type laugh. Hugh was a guy that was free with with knowledge and did not beat you with it, a slowly disappearing breed.
I will miss him.
