To my closest friends – Steve and Jill Harrington – and the Taylor Family
With Sincerest Condolences.
May I say Thank you for introducing me to Hugh many years ago in Campbell River. Right from this introduction I will always have great memories of Hugh’s visits at your home in Campbell River and just how at ease Hugh was when he visited you there. I will always cherish the vast conversations I had with Hugh; the topics were vast and very interesting. I remember core samples I had brought him to test his analysis which was always bang on. (I am certain he wished I had brought scotch instead!) Never the less the topics were usually a history lesson and while I always enjoyed these, I do remember one particular night, where many were talking, and where Hugh and I were in discussion when “Steve” had interrupted at some point. It was then that “Hugh” announced to “Steve, Frank is speaking - in a rather bold voice” The room was silenced and the laugh was on. We still discuss that moment and laugh today. To Jill, while I know and had seen many times over, you were and are a great daughter with so much compassion for your father and it was so easy to see. To Hugh I say, “Rest in Peace, I will truly miss our conversations”
Your Friend,
Frank Sputek
