THE BEST MEDICINE:Laughter, served with a side of humility:Columnist pays tribute to a pillar of the Catfish Farmers of America, Hugh Warren III

摘要

Hugh Warren III, longtime executive vice president of the Catfish Farmers of America, passed away inearly July. I had been warned that "Hugh's time was short" because of a terminal illness, but his passing was nonetheless a shock. It left an enormous void in my life. Hugh was a special person in my life, just as he was a special person for literally thousands of other people. Hugh had a unique ability to make people feel that they were "special." Conversations, or the work, were not about him even when he was seeking help or needing a favor; it was about you. His humility and focus on other individuals enabled Hugh to successfully represent the Catfish Farmers of America.
