|
|
was born on May 17, 1955, to Joyce Plummer Hugman and Dr. George |
|
|
Robert Hugman Jr. in Galveston; at a young age, he decided to follow |
|
|
in the footsteps of his father, a family physician, and he began |
|
|
preparing for that career by earning a bachelor's degree in biology |
|
|

|
|
The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and he |

|
|
vows of matrimony on December 5, 1981, and became the proud parents |
|
|
of two children, Luke and Rachel; and |

|
|
Oklahoma, the family moved to Nacogdoches, and he opened his own |
|
|

|
|
profession and his community, he was affiliated with the |
|
|

|
|
Medical Association, and he served the Nacogdoches Memorial |
|
|
Hospital board of directors as secretary, vice president, and |

|
|
his expertise and his kind bedside manner, and he also served his |
|
|
community as a Boy Scout leader and as a devoted soccer dad; among |
|
|
family and friends he was known for his adventurous spirit, |
|
|
boundless energy, and many interests, which ranged from waterskiing |
|
|
to dancing to sailing to crafting delicious margaritas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While the life of Dr. George Hugman ended far too |
|
|
soon, the enthusiasm, compassion, and integrity with which he lived |
|
|
will forever inspire all who had the good fortune to know him; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
