Patrick "Pat" Hughes' Obituary
HUGHES, Patrick C., 62, went to be with the Lord October 24, 2011. To Pat, his family was the most important part of his life and each one had a special place in his heart. He had many friends and family who will miss him greatly. Pat's life was full of adventure. He was a skilled pool player and the joy of fishing and hunting were a constant passion. He could always recruit family and friends into a good game of cards, Mexican Train or Chicken Foot. Beach week was one of his favorite yearly vacations with family.

Pat also attended St. Laurence Catholic Church.

Pat is preceded in death by his mother, Thelma Hughes, his father, Thomas Hughes and his brother, Michael T. Hughes. He is survived by his sisters, Florence Meek and Margaret Sanchez, many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
