William J. Hughley, 75, Richlandtown

William J. Hughley, 75, of Richlandtown, died at St. Luke’s Quakertown Hospital in Quakertown, PA early Thur., Apr. 5, 2018. He was the loving husband of Terry A. (Lampson) Hughley for 40 years.
Born in Wabasha, he was a son of the late Earl and Marie (Franke) Hughley. Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, his hometown was an ideal setting for the type of life he enjoyed: an active one! His favorite pastimes included fishing and duck hunting on the rivers and marshes, as well as hunting deer and pheasant in the woods and fields. A well-liked and respected member of Wabasha H.S. Class of 1961, he took part in many activities such as baseball and track, going to dances, and pitching in where needed.
William developed a strong work ethic at an early age. During boyhood, he helped his grandparents on their farm, and then as a teenager held down various jobs including working at a fishing resort, in a canning factory and flour mill, setting pins in a bowling alley, and many more. A few years after graduation, he moved to Pennsylvania and worked in several jobs, concluding as an employee of Blooming Glen Contractors for over 25 years.
He continued his love of hunting and fishing throughout most of his life. He also was an avid sporting clays shooter, entering many tournaments and participating in benefit shoots at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays in Coplay, PA. In addition to his sporting pursuits, Bill was an excellent cook and avid gardener.
Surviving with Terry are his sons: Brent Hughley, wife Shelli of Zumbro Falls, and Todd Hughley, companion Monica Zurn of Lake City; grandson, Jason Hughley, wife Crystal of Zumbro Falls; great-granddaughter, Hadley Marie Hughley; brother, David Hughley, wife Ruth of Onamia; sister, Charlene Jones of Wabasha; and brothers-in-law William Lampson of Danbury, CT and Bert Lampson, wife Susan of Johnson City, TN.
