Remembering Hucc

My fellow crew mates, it's been one year since our dear Hucc departed us. And I think this would be a fitting opportunity for us to reflect on our friend and remember him. May God rest his soul and grant him eternal peace.

Until we meet again . . . :angel

Sommetimes it seems like wow--has it been a yr already! Then when you miss his posts you think-- wow has it only been a yr because it seems so much longer! I hope his family is doing well. Hucc although you are missed by many, we know that you are at peace & free from your pain & suffering.

Calgon - thank you for posting. If you had not, I was going to do so. It's difficult to believe that a year has passed since Hucc left us for his eternal cruise. May he know that he is missed, and may God continue to comfort Koolaid, Oliver, his family and friends - especially my one friend and family who was so sadly affected by Hucc's demise.

God bless you dear Hucc. You are missed. :angel

Wow, I can 't believe he has been gone a whole year now. He is the only @ddict that I have met face to face. We had a great day in downtown Decatur, Ga. and talked about many things....life and crusing. After his visit with me he went to Atlantic Station in downtown Atlanta and met up with Duskbat.

I know that he is missed by everyone especially his family.

Rest in peace HUCC we will meet again someday!

Thank you for posting, Calgon. (And, thank you, Mary Ann.)

Hucc almost always saw the bright side of everything, and was great at interjecting humor into the situation when he felt it was needed. I shared the following story at his service last year, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I did so here, as well. (Actually, some of you might know it already.)

Early in the course of his illness, he was admitted to the hospital for tests. He was bored, so he gave me a call while I was at work. We chatted for a few minutes, and then his speech started to slur. As I didn't want to upset him, I asked him as calmly as I could to press the call button for the nurse. He mumbled something inaudible again. I became more stern -- Hucc, your speech is slurring, please call the nurse. This went on for a few more rounds, which seemed like an eternity to me. Finally, he said -- in a voice as clear as usual -- "The nurse is already here. I had a thermometer in my mouth!"

This is the Hucc I will always remember, and who will always be with me. I miss him terribly, yet always find myself smiling when I do think of him.

I find myself thinking of Hucc often, and wondering how K and O are doing. I'm pretty sure he's not resting in peace, but more likely has a supper club going on, where foods never burn and pots never boil over.

My thought's & prayers are with Hucc and his family today, as well as many of our C@'s who knew him personally. I have lite a candle in memory of Hucc today. Times like this it's hard for me to verbalize or to put into words what this loss has meant, the only thing I can say is that it has hit home hard. :angel

Yes, I do miss Hucc and his presence here on the C@ board. He posted often and was most often upbeat until the posts where he shared his feelings with us. He was scared at times and I cried many times reading them, as I am now. He was a wonderful board presence and I am sorry I never met him in person, but I will someday.

I hope Koolaid and Oliver know that Hucc is in our thoughts. Hope they are doing as well as they could, as Hucc would have wanted that to be.

Hello, Hucc! :angel

Like Olga, I never had the opportunity to meet Hucc, but I sure did enjoy "knowing" him on this board. The struggles he and Koolaid had to adopt Oliver, the joy we all shared when that happened, the funny and kind posts.

Yes, I will meet him someday on that big cruise ship in the sky. We'll have lobster, caviar, hamburgers, ice cream and beer whenever we want to! (Had to throw in the beer - I'm Belgian, you know!)

Float in calm seas, Hucc.

Hucc was an incredible person. He had a way of making everyone feel good about themselves. My prayers to his family and friends.

I too can't believe it's been a year since we lost HUCC. Like so many of you, I never met him in person, but felt like I knew him through his posts. He and I shared several private messages back and forth, which I still have in my message file. We were supposed to meet on a cruise out of Galveston, but before the cruise is when he got ill and he wasn't able to make it. My thoughts and prayers go out to Koolaid, Oliver and all those who knew and loved HUCC. I have no doubts that he is, at this moment, sitting out on his eternal balcony cabin, looking out over the beauty that is heaven.

I'm so glad I joined this site in time to "meet" Hucc. Time HAS passed quickly. God bless you Hucc, and may your family and friends find peace in their hearts and smiles on their faces when they think of you.

I have not been to the boards since 2007, and although I remember Hucc being sick, I am still so sorry to read this. Hucc was so kind and funny....my thoughts go out to Kool-aid and Oliver....
