Our friend

Your laugh still rings in our ears. You led by example, examined your conscience and spoke out when it was needed most. You were a man full of love, an open spirit; you took responsibility when no one else had the courage to own their actions, you were burdened for it but bore your load with dignity. Now you join your fallen volunteers where they wait for you with open arms. You were, and are, loved. Deepest sympathies to the Hughes family circle. Anthony & Carrie McIntyre

i will always remember 'the dark' as a compassionate, thoughtful, deeply sensitive man who believed in his class, the working men and women of Ireland. His example and sacrifice will, i believe, inspire future generations to struggle for a truly democratic socialist republic where human beings will reach their full potential.
He has not gone to a strange place but, perhaps, to a better one than he knew here.
