Posted by Mandy on Facebook this morning:
"Hugh passed away this morning at 6:30 after a long night of fighting to beat this stroke. He was a great man and will be missed by many."
Rest easy now, bud. Sorry we didn't get to jam like we talked about.
Please post condolences here. ____________________

Such sad news.. he will be missed by many..
Hugh was kind of a cd trading mentor to me when I first started trading. We kind of formed a bond, i think, so he will always have a certain place in my heart. a very kind & generous person..
I will miss him very much & so will this site. it will not be the same without HughDuty..
God bless him & Mandy.. ____________________

Very sad to see this.
As a receiver of Hugh's generosity through the last couple of years, I was saddened to read this.
My condolences to his family.
See ya on the other side.

Could not have said it any better.
Hugh was soooooo instrumental in my early days of trading. Through his kindness, a lot of the music in my collection was a result of his generosity. Will always think of him when I play a show.
My thoughts and prayers are with Mandy, and his children and grand kids.
Sail on brother Hugh. Sail on......

I am so saddened to read this news.
Hugh and me never met although we determined that we were no more than five feet apart from each other at a Gov't Mule concert in Memphis. It was several years before we became acquainted on this site. I always thought that we'd make amends on that some day and get to meet face-to-face and share a handshake and some smiles. I'm deeply disappointed that that won't be possible now.
Aside from his friendliness and willingness to share so many tunes with so many people, and the happiness that he helped spread to friends and strangers alike, what always impressed me the most was Hugh's compassion, his big heart and how much his family meant to him.
This was our last exchange via PM:
"Thanks Hugh! May not have mentioned it but five weeks ago I became a Grandpa for the first time. Pretty good gig!"
"OhMan,Congrat's !! Let me tell you,Grand Kids are the best thing ever,hand's down! I have 3,& they are 4,5,& 6 yr's,old.What a hand full...but fun,LOL !!They are a life changer...."
And, that's the thing I'll remember about Hugh, he was a life changer too. I feel so badly for Mandy and the entire family, being deprived of having Hugh in their lives. May he rest in peace.

Was just looking at my our last pm's to each other before I read this.
It was concerning a free show Hugh had offered up, and he asked if I could cover someone who really wanted in on the closed offer.
Hugh. Always concerned when someone couldn't hear the tunes. Imagine that!  ____________________
