He is survived by his sister Lisa (Marge), wife Lolita, his four Children, Brent (Gail), Brandon (Christina), Bradley (Renee), and Kristen Concannon (Traighe), two grandchildren, his ex-wife Cathryn Hughes (Al), two nephews, a niece, and many cousins, friends, and admirers.

Dad was an amazing man; from our earliest memories, conversations were full of theoretical physics, electronics, technology, and astronomy. He was an intellectual powerhouse, a sworn futurist, and eternal optimist, and a champion for equality and fair play. He was eclectic, with a wild and wide-ranging taste in music. He was a free thinker, with a huge sense of offbeat humor and biting wit that he would unleash on fools without regrets. A true original, he lived by his own rules, and we loved him for it. Also, he loved us; he had a huge heart and loved his family dearly. Rest in peace Dad. We will cherish our memories of you like the great treasure they are. We love you.
