Hugh was born in Buffalo, NY in 1943, son of the late Edward and Janet Wolf Wiesman. He was a 1965 graduate of Boston College, earning a Bachelor of Science degree. After graduation he served honorably in the U.S. Air Force for four years and continued his service as a Systems Analyst at Letterkenny Army Depot and later Fort Detrick, where he retired after 37 years. While working full time, he earned an MBA from Shippensburg University. Hugh was a member of the Knights of Columbus, enjoyed his fish pond, was a passionate, meticulous gardener who appreciated Nature in all its forms, especially the beauty of Spring. He was a man of few words but his presence was always felt and his quick wit was a joy to all who knew him. Hugh was an avid reader, American history buff, Buffalo Bills fan, consummate master of crossword puzzles, and a unique problem solver, often creating a tool to fix something when no tool existed.
