June 17, 1955 – September 13, 2011
We are saddened by the loss of a cherished
Our House community member, Hugh P. King.
He was greatly loved and respected by his
family, friends, and peers.
Each morning Hugh would set out on his
bicycle, headed toward work and a life of independence. Through hard work and dedication,
he was able to accomplish almost every goal he
had set for himself. He had obtained a steady
job, paid off debt, gotten his driver’s license,
and purchased a vehicle.
Hugh’s kindness and humor were infectious.
He was always quick to tell a joke and offer
encouragement. He was particularly loved by
the Our House children and gave many of them
a 25¢ weekly allowance.
Hugh passed away in his sleep, surrounded by
the loving friends who had become his family.
He will live on in the memories of the many
individuals whose lives he touched.
