  • 15 Comments on Patrick Kieran Hughes

Patrick Kieran Hughes, age 76, native of Curracrow, Co. Mayo, Ireland; passed away peacefully at home in Paw Paw, Michigan. Patrick was an associate and lifetime member of The Emerald Society of Illinois and a member of The Stewart’s Club. Patrick was happiest buying and selling antiques with his wife Nancy, as well as spending time with family and grandchildren. He had a joyful spirit and was always there to offer help when needed. As a young man, Patrick won medals for Irish dancing, singing, and a scholarship for advanced Gaelic studies. He worked with Patrick Sweeney in a traveling shop on Achill Island where he was beloved by the locals for his gift of gab and kindness to children. He came to America in 1964, and was a natural salesman. He started his own pest control company, Hughes Pest Control, which grew into Norshore Distributing. He was a lifelong collector of everything, to the point his Mother had to sew his pockets shut to prevent having to continually fix the holes in them. As an adult, he had the best spot, and was a favorite stop for antique collectors at the Kane County Flea Market for his doorknobs, hardware, and stained glass. This love of collecting brought him to his next business adventure, Shamrock Recycling, where family and friends could stop by, find something interesting, and have a good craic. Patrick was the beloved husband of Nancy, nee Nicholson; loving father of Eileen Rattin, Catherine Trompeter, Heather Hughes, Patrick Hughes, Colleen Dawdy, and Kiren Hughes; Devoted grandfather of Gavin, Patrick, Brendan, Aidan, Maeve, Kevin, Annie, Mickey, Jack, Rian, and Sean; Dear brother of Michael, James, Peter, Tommy and Richard Hughes, Margaret McMahon, Catherine Commons, and the late Agnes Mahoney, Mary O’Beirne and John Hughes.

    Nancy and the Hughes family, I am so sorry to hear of Patrick’s passing. I will always remember the fun time with him at the Emerald Society functions, he was always ready to jump in and lend a hand whenever needed and just so much fun to be around. Know that Pat will never be forgotten by those who knew him and will miss his greatly. May God bless you Patrick and hold you and your family in the palm of His hands. Rest in Peace my friend and Brother in Green.

    Pat was a great friend! I loved hearing his stories of Achill and all my relatives that he knew there, while we tilted a pint! I was very sorry to hear of his passing. I am sure he will be dearly missed by his family and many friends. I will remember him and his family in my prayers at this difficult time. God Bless!

    My condolences to the entire family. Mr Hughes was a great man. I have so many fond memories growing up around the Hughes. He always made me laugh and I love that he always called me Annie. That accent too!! I’ll never forget that smile and those curls. You are all in my heart and in my prayers. Rest In Peace.
