We recently learned of the passing of Jack Hughes. Jack was very active with the LKGWSC and was president in 2016. From the family:
Douglas G. Hughes Sr., 78, passed away in the early hours of Sunday March 13 2022, after a battle with heart disease.
Doug, a native of Ithaca NY, is survived by his beloved wife, Beverly, whom he adored; his four sons, John, Richard, Douglas and Anthony; eight grandchildren; and two sisters, Cindy & Tracy.
Doug was loved and respected by all who knew him. Doug had a decorated Navy career of 29 years, from which he retired as a Master Chief.
After moving to Lake Gaston, he was ever active in retirement and devoted himself to civil service serving on multiple commissions, boards and in club positions. He was the Editor in Chief of the Gaston Gazette.
Doug built beautiful model planes and ships, was an avid fisherman, and won more card games than is quantifiable. He will be deeply missed.
A private service will be held for the family.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Habitat for Humanity or your local animal rescue.

Pig Pickin
Thanks to Herb Harbold, with the help of Wyatt Andrews, for stepping up at the last minute and cooking the pork. It was delicious. Also, thanks to all members who “pot-lucked” the side dishes and desserts. Special thanks to Susie Deschenes, along with Wyatt and Debbie, who did the lion’s share of purchasing and setting up for the picnic.
