Canadian Born, American Made 3rd Edition: Memories of a Grateful Soul

Richard Hughes was born in Toronto, Canada in May of 1958. His family moved to Florida in the winter of ’66 with over two feet of snow on the ground. He and his brother never could figure out why anyone would want to leave their beloved homeland to go anywhere else, much less to a place where it never snows and there is no ice hockey. Florida seemed so boring at first, but out of necessity they finally adjusted and grew to love the place just like they had up north. Richard has enjoyed many hobbies since growing up in Florida; running, motocross racing, mountain biking, surfing, and now even ice hockey in Orlando, Florida. He has almost come full circle. Richard is married to a native born Floridian and has a daughter, a step-daughter, a stepson, and several grandchildren.
