My Very Good Friend, Mentor & Fellow Hollywood Stuntman, Whitey Hughes is gone, but never forgotten...

[Dr Buck Montgomery]

On Tuesday, July 7th, a Legend in the world of Stunt work, Whitey Hughes, did his final "Take" and is now up yonder smile'n that ever present smile of his, down on us. He was not only one of the very best in the business, but also, definitly, one of the most sincere & gracious men I've ever had the honor of calling a great friend. Certain people pass through our life that leave a memory that will last an eternity...Whitey left me with many such memories, and I am forever thankful. For those of you who had the priviledge of even just getting to meet him, you indeed know what I mean. My heart and prayers go out to his incredible "Little Lady" Dotti...to see them together was like seeing "One Person, One Soul"...
Adios My Friend...Thanks for the countless Movie memories, the incredible "Gags", and your friendship.
As long as I can take a fall...each one will be for you!

I met Whitey when I was 12-years old on the Fury set at Iverson's Ranch. Over the years we ran into one another on other sets and spent a few fun times drinking together at the Backstage Bar when we were both working at CBS Studio Center - we also worked together on a movie I co-wrote: Kingdom of The Spiders on which he was stunt coordinator. I last saw Whitey at The Festival of the West a few years ago. It was the first time I ever met his wife, Dottie. I'll sure miss him. He was a good man

Dr Buck, I enjoyed listening to you and Dakota paying tribute to Whitey on the latest "Chronicle of the Old West" radio show. I'm hoping it's ok to attach the segment here, for others to enjoy?

Thank you all for keeping Whitey here with us...
