Ronald Clifford Hughes

Ron was born in Denver, Colorado to Clifford and Janet Hughes. He attended schools in Denver and Evergreen, Colorado and majored in economics at the University of Colorado.

In his youth, Ron was a percussionist with the Denver Junior Police Band. During his graduate year with the band, Ron had the pleasure of performing in the Inauguration Parade for President John F. Kennedy.

As a young adult, Ron was a culinary chef and instrumental in the establishment of numerous fine-dining restaurants in the Denver Metropolitan Area.

Ron moved to Marin County, California in 1980 and began his insurance career with Fireman’s Fund. It was during this time that he met and married Janet May, a native of San Rafael, California. Janet passed away in 2006, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Ron continued his insurance career with several different carriers and met Kristine Griffin of San Rafael, California in 2007 with whom he remained until his passing.

Ron is survived by sisters Linnea Sosa of San Rafael, California; Carley Hughes of Golden, Colorado; niece Julie Richardson of Lenoir, North Carolina; nephew James Eric Richardson of Denver, Colorado as well as life-partner, Kristine Griffin and her children.

RON HAS LEFT OUR SIGHT BUT NOT OUR HEARTS.
