HUGHES, Charles (Charlie) Francis

The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Thursday, April 15, 2010 Charles "Charlie" Francis Hughes, 64, of Prescott, Ariz., formerly of Marlborough, Conn., husband of Linda (Johnston) Hughes, passed away on Thursday, April 8, 2010. Born in New Haven, Conn., on Oct. 17, 1945, he was the oldest son of Charles and Helen (Mahon) Hughes. He grew up in New Haven and graduated from Quinnipiac College in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He was a veteran of the Army National Guard and retired from the Hartford Insurance Group after 36 years of service. Charlie and Linda married in 1982 and shared a wonderful life together. They relocated to Prescott to spend their days enjoying life, playing golf and following his beloved Boston Red Sox. One of his greatest joys was when they won the 2004 World Series. In addition to his wife Linda, he is survived by his brother Jerry and wife Suzanne and their two children, Chelsea and David; his brother Robert of Merrimac, N.H.; his sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Don Woods of Calgary, Alberta; and his brother Kenneth and wife Debbie and their son Matthew. He is also survived by numerous aunts and uncles and too many cousins to count. He leaves behind his best friend Richard Drake, who was by his side throughout his entire ordeal, always providing hope and encouragement, and all his friendships made as a member of Prescott Lakes Golf and Country Club. The family wishes to express their appreciation to the staff of Mountain Valley Regional Rehabilitation Hospital in Prescott Valley for the wonderful respect and support given to Charlie during his stay and especially to the outstanding care Charlie received during the past few months by Dr. Michael Trainor. There will be no calling hours but a Celebration of Life service will be in the near future at the convenience of the family. Donations in his memory may be made to the American Cancer Society Arizona Division, 2724 E. Larkin Suite #9, Flagstaff, Ariz. Heritage Memory Mortuary in Prescott is handling the arrangements.
