Following the Baseball NB Bantam AAA Elimination Tournament in which Baseball NB honoured the late Gerry McHugh. Mrs. McHugh wished to provide the following note:
"I am writing to express our sincere appreciation to Baseball NB, coaches and players for the outpouring of support that we have received following Gerry's passing.
During Gerry's last moments he was driving our son Joseph to the ball field. Gerry loved baseball, he loved those he worked closely with in coaching our boys, and he especially loved the boys he coached.
Gerry knew that baseball coaches are mentors to the players and that this role is an important one. I hope that his passing reminds you all of the importance of the good work you coaches do in the development of the youth you coach.
Thank you for adding to Gerry's enjoyment of the sport and for the kindness you have shown to us which will always be remembered.
