A Brooklyn Childhood
June 9, 2021
by Amy Hand
Hugh was born in Brooklyn to Margaret Mulholland Rooney and Matthew Patrick Hand. He was the older brother to sisters Joan, Margie, Helen, and Irene. As an adult, Hugh reminisced fondly about his Brooklyn childhood; going to Dodgers games (without tickets!), visiting Prospect Park and the zoo (also without tickets! :), and diving for coins at Sheepshead Bay were a few memories he mentioned often.
Hugh's NYC upbringing also sparked his love and passion for the New York Giants! Watching the G-Men games are some of Amy, Matt, Karen's fondest memories with our dad.
