Born in Baltimore, Maryland to Richard and Thelmeta Hughey, he grew up in Baltimore with his parents and younger brother, Lee, and attended Baltimore Polytechnic Institute before moving to Georgia to attend Georgia Tech. He graduated with a degree in Engineering and worked for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad before finding his passion in sales. He moved from Baltimore to Chicago and raised his family there. Dick worked for Sperry Univac (now Unisys) for over 35 years, selling computer solutions and improvements, most notably for the Chicago Public Schools. He made service to the church a lifelong endeavor as an avid volunteer and dedicated congregant. He loved organizing events and was especially gifted as a leader in projects benefiting others.

Charlotte and family, so sorry to hear of Dick's passing, it was announced at the Mighty 8th Air Force Guild meeting this evening. For the past several years, Dick and I served as greeters, on Friday afternoons at the Museum and it was a pleasure working with him, tossing around yarns of our past in between greeting people in the rotunda. I feel I know you all, he shared many fond stories about y'all and how proud he was of you. He was a good man and I shall miss him dearly. Brad Wolff
