David Duke says
I am deeply sorry to hear about the passing of Hugh. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. My thoughts are with your family during this difficult time. I did not know Hugh well but did have the pleasure of meeting him in Vancouver at my father’s (Daryl Duke)funeral in November 2006. Hugh’s attendance this day was amazing and touched me and my family greatly. Unfortunately, I will be out of the country on the 19th and unable to pay my respects in person. My thoughts and best wishes will be with you.
