Hugo had a heart for sharing his life and faith with others. In 1977 he started a Bible study with interns and residents from John Peter Smith Hospital. Throughout the years he continued to open his home and heart to others. He was involved with all the activities of his and others' children, such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, school projects, and years of coaching Blue Raider baseball.
The education of children was always near and dear to his heart. He worked through the political system to try to ensure that textbooks were accurate and factual. His desire was that every child would receive a great education that would benefit them throughout their lives.
Hugo was an avid Fighting Texas Aggie football fan. He was a member of the 12th Man Foundation and embodied the saying "Once an Aggie, Always an Aggie." Whoop!
