Both Irene and Hugo were active in many card clubs throughout the years. Hugo remained a passionate card player and cherished the time his family spent challenging him for a winning hand. Another of Hugo's favorites was a freshly grilled brat; he enjoyed both during his last days. We all loved his humor, the twinkle in his eye when he teased and joked. Even when he couldn't join in all the conversations like he used to, he so enjoyed just having everyone there.
