Robert (Bob) Hughes, one of the founders of Chemspec, passed away in July in Maryland. He was 87 years old. Bob and I had several things in common. We were both WWII veterans who served in the Marine Corps in the Pacific and he lived and loved the cleaning business as I do.
The last time I saw him in person was in San Diego in 1978. Our mutual friend, Howard Olansky of ICS magazine, had arranged a dinner for Bob, my wife Elizabeth and me in an attempt to further a working relationship between our two companies.
A Funeral Mass was celebrated at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Towson, Maryland with interment at Garrison Forest Veterans Cemetery.
