Hugh Sutherland was a fellow actor, friend, and more importantly, he was family to me. I am crushed by his sudden and unexpected departure from this world. Hugh, you were the best friend any person could ever have, you were always there to talk to, you always made sure people were Ok and genuinely wanted to know how people were. You expected nothing out of return but gave so much of yourself. Hugh, you could light up a room even in the darkest of hours. Your passion for theatre wasn't matched by anyone also while you were in the Hamilton Hospital; the passion, energy, and joy you had while speaking about theatre was inspiring. You have made so many people's lives richer just by them having met you. You had a giant heart only matched by your` giant laugh that brought comfort and joy to those around you. Hugh, you were and still are my best friend. You are physically gone, but you will never be forgotten you have forever etched your name in theatre and in life in stone (Your very own). Thank you for being my friend and thank you for being part of my family you will always be in my heart. Take your final bow, and rest with no more pain. I know you will always be looking down on us from up above smiling and pouring down the warmth, happiness, and joy you always brought while you were here.
