William Hughes Obituary

I was sad to learn of the passing of my good high school friend Billy Hughes. He and I were schoolmates at Porter-Gaud, and I have terrific memories of time spent with Billy, from oyster roasts on the Wando to our 8th-row seats for Bruce Springsteen. It's clear from the reminiscences of others here that Billy lived a rich life, with friends and family who love and cherish him. My sympathies and best wishes to his children and family.

To the whole family, Bill was a dear friend of mine when we were teenagers. We had many great times, as he was a great guy! He will be saddly missed by all whose life he touched. My prayers go out to his wife, children, parents, brothers and their families. Mary Ann Moraska

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with your family.

Although I hadn't seen Billy in many years, I will never forget him. He, even as a teenager, was kind, considerate, and always very generous of spirit and humor. He obviously grew into a great man, husband and father. I, like everyone who knew him, am terribly saddened by his loss, and I hope that his wife, children and family know that they are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

I was so shocked and saddened to learn of your Billy's death. I was a classmate of Billy's at PG -- he was such a nice guy and always had a friendly smile and a kind word for everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and i hope your wonderful memories of him will be a comfort to you during this time- Erroll Anne Hodges

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss.

I met Billy years ago through my boss's Tommy Meteraud and Ron DuBiel. I will always remember his jovialness and his warm smile.

May God Bless you and your family.

Dear Holli,

It broke my heart to hear about Billy. He was a great friend and a super guy with a keen sense of sense of humor. I regret having lost touch with him over the years. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and kids and his parents and brothers. He was a one-of-a-kind "Hungry-necker"

**** To his family and friends ****

I had a unique and special friendship with Billy, for nearly 20 years I can't remember a cross word between us. We worked together many days during this time and he was always ready to help and do what ever he could for me and many others. I don't have the words to express how sad I am, I miss him and loved him like a brother, and, I will never forget him. I am available to help in any way I can for Holli and the children, just email me and I will respond. May God bless you all and help each of you to be strong. With a heavy heart, I bid farewell to my friend..... Sincerely,.. Bobby Parker

I am shocked to hear such sad and heart breaking news. My heart and well wishes go to Billy's wife and children. We have never met but I knew your husband and father when we were young boys at Porter Gaud. Billy never had a mean word to say about anyone and was a friend to all. He was quick to smile and I enjoyed the time with him. I wish you much strength in this time. He will be missed by many. Mark A. Lipton, OD Porter Gaud Class of 1980.

Dear friends and family of Billy...

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this terrible time. I was a classmate of Billy's at P-G. He had a wonderful smile and a wicked sense of humor. May God grant you HIS peace.
