Hugh Madigan
Hugh Howard Madigan, born to John A. Madigan and Sara (Campbell) Madigan on December 20, 1917, passed away on November 3, 2002 in Ft. Myers, Florida, in the comfort of his daughter's home.
Hugh, along with his wife of 60 years, Bette (Quack) Madigan, were the owners of Madigan Insurance Agency for over 30 years.
Hugh was a past City Commissioner, past Board member of the Diocese of Marquette, President of the Loretto Catholic Central H.S. School Board, liaison for the Kincheloe Air Force Base, Director of the Sault Savings Bank. Hugh attended the University of Michigan and was a Lieutenant during World War II with the Canadian Army's XII Manitoba Dragoons.
Hugh was preceded in death by his wife Elizabeth (Bette) Madigan on October 25, 2001; a son, Frances John; brothers John, Harry, Walter, Charles, Bernard, Harvard and George; and one sister, Bernice Tavern.
He is survived by his three sons: Douglas (Connie) of Hampton Cove, Alabama; James of Ft. Myers Beach, Florida; and Stephen (Susan) of Cedarville, Michigan; one daughter, Cathy (Greg) Eagle of N. Ft. Myers, Florida; two sisters, Mary Madigan and Sara Franco; one brother-in-law, Otto Quack; 10 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren; and his friend, golf partner, and U of M roommate, Ken Atkin.
Hugh's first love was his family. Beyond that, he greatly enjoyed the game of golf, starting as a caddie at the Sault Ste. Marie Country Club in the 1920s. Hugh was also an avid fisherman and hunter, especially in Barbeau, Drummond Island, and Wawa, Ontario. He spent his summers, since the early 50s, on Brimley Beach, which was where both he and Bette considered heaven on earth. Since 1978, home was in Matlacha, Florida. Hugh often said life couldn't get any better than having the Gulf of Mexico and Brimley Bay to live on.
There is only one word to describe Hugh Madigan, and that is a gentleman -- a true and civil gentleman. Hugh was a deeply faithful man his entire life, and will surely enjoy eternal life. He will be sadly missed by many.
