9/24/1935 – 4/17/2017
Hugh attended UNO and was employed at Mid States Equipment and InterSystems before he joined ConAgra and was Director of Engineering for the Food Ingredients Division when he retired in 2002.
Hugh had a big personality and loved life, laughing, and telling jokes. He loved golfing, fishing, gardening, Husker football, traveling, and watching the animals and birds in the woods of his backyard. But, the true loves of his life were his wife, his children, step-children, and grandchildren. His was a life well lived and there will remain a void in the lives of the many who loved him that will never be filled.

He is survived by his wife of 27 years Dorothy “Dee” O’Grady; children: Hugh M. O’Grady (Tamara), Tracy Gresham (Jim), Connell O’Grady (Catherine), Brian O’Grady (Tina); Step-children: Tim Hanson (Carole), Cindy Hansson, Melanie McDonald (Clint); Grandchildren: Sean and Ryan O’Grady; Brandon and Zach O’Grady; Katie and Connor Gresham; Jeff, Jarod, Lauren, Gretchen, and Jayse O’Grady; Eve Johnston; Kate and John Hanson; Ryan (Katie) and Cordin Herrick; Madison and Brooklyn Mether; Mikayla, Chance, and Caden McDonald; Michelle (Justin) Baldus; 3 Great-grandchildren; numerous friends, family, wonderful neighbors, golfing buddies, and anyone who liked to share a good cigar.
