That is correct, cancer I believe.

It seemed all rather sudden to those of us here, because he posted up until a bout a week before his passing. He had never said anything about it that I saw, but I guess he had been failing for some time.
I've got it saved here somewhere and (as usual) can't find it at the moment, but his obituary actually went so far as to mention his tractors and the time he enjoyed on YT.

One thing I would like to add is the first time I saw the picture of him standing by the pickup in his short pants and suspenders made me think of someone else but I just couldn't put my finger on who it was.
It came to me later and I will share it now.
The way Hugh was standing with his hands on his hips reminded me of a British comedy actor I used to watch on PBS by the name of Benny Hill.
Benny always seem to make fun of the rediculous but never at anyone's expense except his own. I always got a chuckle or two out of each episode. He had a lot of pretty girls on the show also which didn't hurt.
I am sure Hugh's family and friends know that I mean this comparison in the most kind and good humored way.

That 1911 hits on Hugh's memorial thread only applies to the modern forum. Total hits from classic and modern is probably 5000 to 10,000. No way of knowing because the classic hits are not reported, may not even be collected due to software limitations. Classic view is far and away more popular. It is also the default display at YTMag.
Hugh was diagnosed with a rapid onset cancer a day or two before Canada's Thanksgiving day which I think was Oct 10. The same thing happened to my father who was a medical doctor and a world-wide leader in his specialty. That left Hugh with two weeks to live. His last post was ten days before his death so he was aware of his condition when he made that post.
Yes, it is highly unlikely that any thread has ever, or will ever, surpass Hugh's memorial thread. And we are just counting one thread. There were a few others as well.

I will always be grateful for his advice and kind words. I feel so bad right now.
