Vaughn my love I miss you so much. It's not getting easier it's seems to be getting harder, as I try and adjust to the fact your with the Lird now . I loved you always and will continue to live and keep our memories within my heart. XOXO

Pam I'm so sorry to hear about Vaughn! I wish I'd known earlier and I would have attended the services. I'm in L.A. now, not too far. When did you guys move to CA? I will always remember the times after
school and all the crazy things we all did. Please stay in touch, I always think about you guys. Love and prayers, Teresa

I was so saddened to hear of your passing. I had lost father at a early age and the closest I ever got to having him back was you. I have so many wonderful memories of you and all the kids. I can see you and Billy walking hand in hand in your scout uniforms. From canoes to fishing poles to the van to hunt ghosts you were so large. You were a man who showed us what is meant to be a man to take care of your family your kids your neighbors your community. Always there was some project brewing that you were completely invested in until you completed that task and then on to the next Big Thing. When I think of you I think of family of love and how you made all of us try robe better people. I love you I love your family and I will never forget the lessons you taught me. I see you on the flip side and I will honor you by being the best me I can be. Love you forever and always HERO

Hi uncle Vaugh it's Ann Barlow -your niece in -law... Jeremys wife..I sure do miss you, I am sorry for being mad your not here I miss you terribly you have a way with people and you made me feel like I was part of you family, remember when you went hunting that one time and brought back an elk and you had Pam make us dinner & you looked at me with that silly grin & asked me... so Ann do you like the meatballs? Grin, Grin, Gring :) ... yes uncle Vaugh they are really good , different but really good.. well good he says, so what kind of meat do you think it is? I looked at him dumbfounded .. I am a Diego Cali Girl .. I guess Cow meat uncle Vaughn, nope its Elk - I wanted you to try something new and I knew you wouldn't of tried it if I told you... he was right about that, but I am glad he did because to this very day 14 years later I only prefer eating my meatballs with Elk meat, it's healthier and yummy. I love you Vaugh and I am not mad at you anymore for not being around for many more camping nights with a cold beer and great fellowship. I know your in OUR FATHER'S HANDS. I will see you then when HE calls me home too. Love Ann Barlwo

Good Morning my LOVE , Today is the day that all your family and friends are coming together to Celebrate Your Life. You are so loved Vaughn , I don;t think you ever realized how much you were loved.

As we all come together today to honor and share our love for you just know how much your Princess loved you and how much I will miss you but always cherish the beautiful memories you left with me and the rest of our family

Rest in peace Vaughn till God calls me home to join you for Eternity,

Your Loving Wife
Pam (your baby doll)

Miss you Uncle Claw. Man, I could sit and listen to you for hours. Not like I had a choice, hahaha ;) One story would roll into another and you'd either have me laughing so hard my stomach was hurting, or so intrigued with ghost hunting or something you recently read I just couldn't leave. I loved looking at all your pictures of your recent adventures with you. I really wish we would have got to go hang out on your pontoon boat together. I remember when you took us out on lake washington when we were boys. That was so much fun. Getting the chance to be out there all day with you. I remember when you and Aunt Pam came up to Whistler and went rafting with us. I dug for my first clams with you. I shucked my first oyster with you. I remember how sweet you always were to Pam and how you always called her your princess. I hope I treat Kim the same way you always have treated Pam. I loved sitting back and watching you and my mom sing karaoke together. You made a damn good duet. I think one of my favorite memories was when you took us fishing on a stream out near your cabin and we caught a trout. I couldn't believe it. I remember you got me all setup on the scooter when we were visiting up in Port Ludlow. I rode that thing all over the place and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I'll miss the times we just sat in the spa and talked for hours. I'll never forget "Hung Kung Fooey'. I miss you. Love you. -Ryan

Morning my Love been up since 2:00 Miss You so much . Want to kiss you good morning talk and drink coffee together like we always did . MISS YOU LOVE YOU

Love you Vaughn , can't believe I won't see our talk to you again. My heart is so heavy with sadness . Just wanted to say goodnight and light a candle .

Well, we haven't seen you for 30 years but we still think about you from time to time so I'd say you made a lasting impression. You were always so full of life, doing everything with 110% dedication and always with a smile. We often remember how enthusiastic you were about everything you decided to try. It didn't matter if it was skiing, biking, golfing or whatever, the Hubbards were all involved and had all the equipment and you were the fearless leader. If you thought your family would enjoy it then the attitude was damn the torpedos and full speed ahead, as evidenced by your Pacific Ocean fishing trip which required assistance from the US Coast Guard.
You always had a wide range of interests. When we read about your involvement in PIHA we had to laugh because an unusual activity like that was "so totally Vaughn".
We enjoyed the times we spent with you and your family very much. Thanks for the memories, Larry, Jamie, Karli, Mike and Kelly Kaiser

Night My Love Till We Meet Again For Eternity XOXO

Pam and family, what a terrible shock to read of you dear Vaughn's passing. We have so many fond memories of him. He was the first person to introduce himself to us when we moved in to Port Ludlow.
We were always impressed by his dedication to his family. I loved watching him with his grandkids, he was so patient and kind. He treated you Pam, like a true Princess! He never complained but so often you could tell he was in so much pain. It didn't stop him from doing all those things he loved. He will be missed terribly but has left a lasting legacy and loving memories for all.

Love, Nancy & Bob

Uncle Vaughn,

Thinking back over all the memories I've had with you, I can't help but smile and laugh. You were such a big personality in our family, always cracking jokes. I think of the times that we came to visit you and Aunt Pam in Washington and you introduced Ryan, Trev and I to the great outdoors- boating, fishing and digging for clams. You even let us ride on the scooter, which I promptly drove into the ditch on the side of the road! We also learned about all the delicious "fat" food as you called it; when we were staying with you, we had the best meals :) I think about how you used to call yourself Uncle Claw and grab us and make us laugh. We were always excited when you would come visit us in San Diego, even though I knew I would never get any sleep since I shared a wall with the den, where you and my mom would spend all night singing karaoke! The song Mustang Sally will always make me think of you.  Some of my last memories were seeing you at my wedding and also over Thanksgiving last year. I remember just before some of the cousins were heading to bed, you started to tell some of your favorite stories and had all of us laughing so hard.....like when you rode the horse into your school, or when you pretended to have a twin brother (Carl) so you could get two school lunches. Those were just a few of my favorites. And that is how I will always remember you Uncle Vaughn, surrounded by family, telling stories and laughing. You were such a great uncle to us and I am so proud to be your niece and so fortunate for all the time we shared together. I will love and miss you always. xoxo Katie

My Vaughn how I loved you and how I'm missing you can't believe you are not going to walk through the door at any minute. 
You were a wonderful husband ,father and papa . Your love for your family was a tribute of your life that will always carry on. You always were there for any family member or friends that needed help. You were loved by so many and will be missed so much. I will carry you in my heart always Our Day Did Come ( our song was Our Day Will Come by Ruby and the Romantics) Thank you for all the beautiful memories of our life that you left me on DVDs and the songs you song for me on CDs . I know you are resting in peace now and have no more pain that you lived with for years but never complaint or stopping you from living life to the fullest. We had a more than most with our love for one another.  Rest in Peace my Love your loving wife forever xoxo

Vaughn,

Uncle Vaughn / Captain Ron, I will always remember you. I still can’t believe it. Thank you for being such a true gentleman to Pam. You always took care of her, getting her anything she wanted at any time. She loved to be pampered and taken care of. This is what you enjoyed in your life, taking care of your beautiful princess. We had a lot of good times together throughout our lifetime. It didn’t matter how much pain you were in with your back, you would always wrestle with the kids, being Uncle Claw. I always enjoyed listening to you and Aunt Patty singing duet karaoke.  Since Pam and I can’t sing we would just listen to you both and cheer you both on. I will always remember MUSTANG SALLY, “hunngh”.  Vaughn you are my hero. All the things you accomplished in your lifetime with your bad back. You always brought the family together and you would never complain. When we saw the movie Captain Ron you got the nickname. If anybody has been in a boat with Vaughn you would know why. Every time I see a Denny’s and KFC I will think of you and how much you enjoyed that food. You are probably up there already checking out their food. Until we meet again.

Love,
your brother Tom

Vaughn it really doesnt seem real. We just talked; seemed like yesterday, about getting together up here and going to so manyplaces we wanted to investigate. I remember Debbie Knapp, Kathy Gavin and I were Vaughns "charlies" Angels with the Ghost hunting van.  Now you are our angel! You were such an incredible friend and partner with PIHA. I look forward to hearing your voice on a recording some time letting me know you are right there with us. I wish you peace until we can meet again my friend. Pam & family I am so very sorry for your loss. He was amazing and will be missed by so many people. Love you Vaughn.

Dear Uncle Fun,

Each passing of a loved one is painful, but the unexpected has a certain sting that is especially anguishing.
It reminds us of family and friends we have lost and how precious our time here is.
Vaughn was a unique person, one of a kind, that loved life, his family, friends, especially children and the outdoors.
He will be severely missed by all the lives he touched.
I hope you rest my special brother-in-law and friend, but knowing you, you will have enlisted the help of some poor soul in heaven to help you with a project.

Love,
Your sister, Patty

Vaughn, I'm sitting here remembering the great times we had trying to catch a fish, (any fish), on Lake Washington so many years ago. I should have made more of an effort to keep in touch. We'll get together later in the big shipyard in the sky. Pam, our deepest sympathy from me and the other Scot, Jimmy B of LSCC.

Oh My Vaughn,

You were just a skinny blonde Blue eyed white boy, crazy in love with my beautiful Niece Pam,The first time I laid eyes on you.
 Oh how Bob and I loved you and as our family grew and our children and grandchildren meet you there was always laughter as the Claw would come after them in your fun play with them and
When you would draw a bath for your Princess Pam I always wanted Uncle Bob to catch onto that but he never did .

You were always singing and how we would love to hear you sing ,
But most of all we all knew how much you loved the Lord and your relationship you had with Jesus.
You were a Bible stomping Gospel Singing always praising the Lord.

My many Cd's you sent me I play all the time. and I know you are singing now and not in pain. For years you suffered in pain with your Back you could tell in your beautiful blue eyes but you never complained.

How you loved the outdoors and all the beauty God made for you to enjoy and you made sure you were out there praising and enjoying all he gave you. 
What an amazing Father, Grandfather, Husband , Nephew, son, friend you have been to watch. Quality time was one of your love languages that you poured on your family.
Boating, summer cabins, building your home and designing it, all these things you let me and Uncle Bob share with you how much fun we had living life as it came.
You will be truly missed you were one of a kind, a Champion for the Lord. You were so excited when your family was water Baptized and had a relationship with the Lord.You sent me a CD so I could watch it as if I was with you watching it happen.
Good Job my good and faithful servant I know those are the words Jesus whispered in your ear. Save me a good seat because I want to be next to you God willing.
The most important thing in your life is not what you do; its who you become. Thats what you will take into eternity.
your soul. God rest your soul my sweet Vaughn.
Love you forever and Always give kisses to Uncle Bob for me.
Love You
Auntie Jean

My Vaughn love you missing you today terribly xoxo

Dear Vaughn: It was my privilege to be your next door neighbor. You are one of the most talented and kind individuals in this world. We had so many conversations since you and Pam moved into your home--large and small talks, always friendly and wishing each other well. May God always bless you and your family. Bob.

Pam, Dustin, Vonalee and family, we are so sorry for your loss. The picture you posted of Vaughn is exactly as we remember him. Always with a smile!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Paula, Chuck and Marcus Steele & Carly dos Remedios

Vaughn, was the most fun loving person , when it came to the paranormal team and the search for ghost, his eyes would light up. Our travels were well organized and  he was always thinking ahead for the next trip. I missed not having the team together but Vaughn had a lot of things he wanted to accomplish. I only got to meet his son and of course wife Pam my heart and prayers are with you all and he will always be remember.

Dustin,
This website is so wonderful and your letter to your Dad is truly beautiful. I love seeing all the photos.
To say I'm sorry is such a gross understatement...words are utterly inadequate. It's tragic and our hearts break with yours. I'm so glad I was able to meet and spend some time with your Dad. I'll always remember how much Patrick enjoyed and loved your parents. It was so much fun and so heart-warming to hear Carson and Cooper talking about him when we were at your house recently. Their love for him was so evident through their stories and smiles. When the Celebration of Life is over, the shock subsides, and the world continues to oddly and almost unfairly spin, please know that we will continue to pray and be here for you all...whenever, wherever, and however. You and your family are so dear to us and you all will never be alone in your pain.
All our love,
Alli & family

Dear Dad,
I couldn't think of a more fitting way to memorialize you than creating this website. With our shared love of technology, I know you would have done the same for me.

You have been my inspiration throughout my life. I lived every day to make you proud. In the end I know I did because you never once hung up the phone without telling me. I know you knew this, but I loved you too. You live on in me forever. Thank you for what you brought to my life as my father, my friend and my mentor.

Your loving son,
Dustin

I was one of the first members to join PIHA with Vaughn. I have so many fun memories of our trips with the group all over Washington. I think one of the funniest times we all had is when Vaughn would always sit by the closest door out! We all told him he was afraid of ghosts and he finally admitted it. But the hardest part was getting Vaughn to talk with a whisper during our investigations then we all kept giggling which didnt help. We love you Vaughn we hold special so many memories and thank you for all of your hard work on the book as well as getting Kathy and I to Los Angeles to be on tv for our 15 minutes of fame. Terry and I love you and thank you Pam for putting up with us and feeding us!
