Condolences for the Haugland and Belanger families

Belanger, an experienced pilot in his 60s, was giving Haugland a tour of the damage inflicted by Tuesday's tornado when the helicopter went down next to Route 117.

Hugh was 44 years old, the father of two girls and the son of former CTV anchorman Bill Haugland.

Jed Kahane, Director of News and Public Affairs for CTV Montreal, worked closely with Hugh for nine years when Kahane was the Montreal correspondent for CTV National news.

He says Hugh was well-loved and will be sorely missed.

"Hugh was, you know, a fantastic cameraman ... with incredible passion for the news business and for the people that he covered," said Kahane.

He was so dedicated to the job that Hugh had actually been working for the past few weeks with broken ribs and a cast on his wrist following an off-road bicycling accident.

Bill Haugland lives in Vermont but visited the CTV Montreal offices on Tuesday, the day before his son's tragic death.

He says trying to cope with the sudden death is very hard.

"Everybody's tearful and it's sort of like being hit with a club," said Bill. "You can't think straight. Trying to connect the dots is very difficult."

Hugh is survived by his common-law spouse Francine Maill�, and his daughters Lianne, 14, and Evie, 19, from a previous marriage.

Soon after Hugh's death, CTVglobemedia CEO Ivan Fecan issued a statement to the network.

"On behalf of everyone at CTV News and CTVglobemedia Inc., I extend our deepest condolences to the family of Hugh Haugland, who was tragically killed today while covering a story for CTV News in the Laurentian mountains.

A dedicated CTV employee for the past 24 years and the son of former CTV Montreal anchor Bill Haugland, Hugh has been part of the CTV family for many years. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Hugh's family, loved ones, friends and colleagues at CTV Montreal.

Hugh's rich career and love of life will live on through the Hugh Haugland Memorial Scholarship Fund.

To make a donation to the fund, please call 514-848-2424 ext. 3817, or fill out the online form, and on the line that says "direct my gift to a specific scholarship/fund" please write in "Hugh Haugland Memorial Scholarship Fund."

CTV also extends our condolences to the family of Roger Belanger, the helicopter pilot who was also killed in the crash.

Dear Mr. Haugland,

Being 35 years old and growing up without a Father and spending time in foster homes, you were pretty much the one male figure I would see as a constant in my life as I grew up. I truly am saddened by your loss as I always felt you were an extended member of my ''family''. May God bless you and your family and may your suffering be brief.

I remember back at those CFCF days as a sales rep handling Donald K Donald and everybody in the building at one point or another would ask me " hey Richard got any tickets for such and such show ??? " not Hugh... Norris in VTR had to ask me if I had any Disney on Ice tickets for Hugh's daughters, at the time quite young. I said sure and I found four tickets for him. He very sheepishly accepted these tickets from me with such gratitude that I will never forget. People like Hugh made those efforts very much worthwhile for me and I will never forget his genuine appreciation on other occasions.

Hugh was my brother-in-law for 20 years and I have a lot of fond memories of him. He was so full of energy, loved to be doing anything outdoors, and his beautiful smile was so contagious, but most of all, he loved his girls with all his heart. I write this with a heavy heart, as he will truly be missed. I'll never forget the spring in his step, his numerous practice sessions on my parents' piano, and the fun time we had when our family was all together. We all feel the tremendous loss, and send our deepest sympathy to Lynn, Evie, Lianne, and the rest of Hugh's family. We love you.

I met Hugh only once but admired his kindness and upbeat attitude, happy to help me out in whatever way I needed. He made me feel very welcome in an unfamiliar place. I�m sure that translated in the field when covering every kind of story. It also showed in his photojournalism, getting in their close, caring about the story to make the viewers care.

There's an African proverb that says "life is short, but wide". Hugh did a lot of living in his 44 years, yet that is small solace during this time of mourning. Hugh came from great stock and was a real "team player". He bumped up the game of everyone working around him - made us look good. We were very lucky to have him at CTV. I cannot begin to imagine the sorrow his family must be feeling, my thoughts are with them constantly.

Watched Bill for years and always thought that he was the consummate professional who not only set the bar for broadcast news, but was the bar. Though I never met Hugh, from what I've read and heard he was cut from the same cloth as his father. That makes it a great loss indeed. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

The last time I worked with Hugh (more than 18 years ago), he had just started out and was learning the ropes as a VTR operator. What struck me at the time was his openness and deep-rooted dedication to do the job well. It seems he just kept getting better. Just the kind of person you always wanted to be associated with, and in Hugh�s case, a person who was a chip off the old block. My deepest sympathies to Bill and the other members of Hugh�s family and to the staff at CTV Montreal. What an awful loss!

Hughie and I had careers that ran in parallel for many years: He started at CFCF on the Telethon of Stars in 1984, (if memory serves) and then we both worked in VTR (videotape) and in ENG (electronic news). We both suffered the slings and arrows of media downsizing while raising families, but unlike the rest of us, unlike me,that's for sure, Hugh seldom complained about the situation. No griping, no bitching. He preferred discussing the many passions in his life: canoeing, astronomy, and, well, especially, his girls. How he loved them. How proud he was of them. These last few years I worked nights, so I saw him regularly. Some nights I arrived at the station and said "Oh, Hughie's been here. The satellite is on the Lonestar station." Hugh liked taping the Old Westerns to watch later at home. A complex man, our Hughie, a positive spirit, one of the very good guys. My wife Dorothy and I would like to extend our condolences to his family.

I worked as producer-director for CFCF between 1984 and 1998.

What a shock for me when I heard it was Hugh in the chopper. All my heart and spirit are with you during this time of mourning. Please transmit my sympathy to everyone at CFCF.

I had the privilege of working with Hugh and will always remember his professionalism & good humour. I remember when he first started working at CFCF, in those early days, always willing to learn and work on his own time after hours; teaching himself the skills that will serve him well. Hugh never complained, never gossiped and he treated everyone with dignity. I am glad we remained in touch years later and my heartfelt condolences to Bill, Linda,Matt,James and Heidi and Hugh's companion and daughters

What a tremendous loss for us all, personally and professionally. In those long, emotional days following the shooting at Dawson College, I will always remember and be thankful for the sensitivity and respect Hugh showed toward eveyone gathered in front the College doors, distraught students and their families, faculty and staff, and those of us doing our jobs.

He was mindful of personal space, he shared our grief, and we both understood our respective roles and the jobs we had to do. Hugh never crossed the line. He would put down the camera so he could shake your hand, lend a smile when you needed it most, and acknowledged what a difficult job we had. He was a class act, and we will miss him. Our hearts go out to his family.

Dear CTV,

Not sure where to send this, but I wanted somehow to give praise to Mutsumi Takahashi . We could see how difficult it was for her to give the news of Hugh Haugland's death live on the noon news. But, even though this was probably one of the most difficult newscasts she has had to give, she gave it with her usual excellence and professionalism. My heart goes out to her. I am sure Hugh was a friend, and being the son of her long time co-anchor...I am sure this death hit her hard.

Mutsumi is something special. Thank heavens she loves Montreal, or we would have lost her years ago to one of those BIG US stations.

Sincerely, Elizabeth Dakin

My most heartfelt condolences to Hugh's family, and to his collegues, past and present. He's missed already -- so much.

We never worked together directly, but for years, we were on the same story just about every second or third day... and it was always good to see him there. You don't always think that about other crews -- but you did about Hugh.

I told Hugh I thought his father was the default for a TV news anchor. Bill Haugland was the person I grew up watching, and he was what an anchor was supposed to be. Honest, authoritative and strong. (We saw HOW strong yesterday with his interviews.)

I should have also told Hugh that he was the default for TV news photojournalist. Talented, creative, dedicated, positive and level-headed. It's not a natural mixture... but it was Hugh.

I still can't believe the whole thing.

My boys went to bed tonight thinking about you and your daughters, Hugh. God bless.

I became friends with Hugh while attending the Professional Theatre Program at J.A.C in 1983.

Hugh showed an obvious affinity for the arts as well as his talents early on in our education. I remember once, the night before a term project was due for a course named �Scene Design�, Hugh and I each built a Maquette depicting stage and scene using whatever we could find around my apartment. Hugh Passed that course but soon after decided to leave College to begin working for CFCF on Ogilvy Ave., on call, as a stage hand. He never looked back from that point on and relished every day he had on the job.

Together, between classes at the Brasserie Bellevue in Ste. Annes, we also coined the phrase a �quick six�. Our friendship was timeless and never in dispute. Stories of his personal encounters with others are that which he willingly befriended many people. He did just that �to everyone. He also supported those around him through his kindness.

I will always remember moments like the days he shared with us at the Hill, repairing the stairs to the cabin on the Hill, the Dead concert in VT., his wedding, the birth of his children, his �out of the blue� phone calls before leaving for a disaster zone in far away places and more. We were effortlessly brothers.

I have known Hugh throughout his adult life and I will undoubtedly miss his friendship tremendously. I offer my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences to Bill, Linda, Matt, James, Heidi, and Hugh�s mother. To Evie and Lianne who were his most important priority in life. Lynn, my heart goes out to you as you console your daughters. To Francine and her two daughters my love and support.

Now raise your glass
Cheers to Hugh

My deepest condolences and most sincere sympathies to the entire Haugland family and to my CFCF colleagues.
As someone who had the privilege of working with Hugh since he started at CFCF,
he was a wonderful human being with a great sense of humour, a real pleasure to be around and work alongside. It did not matter if it was holding a camera or editing footage, Hugh truly loved what he did. He was very talented and a true professional, dedicated, hard-working an all around nice guy.
For all of us fortunate enough to have known Hugh, it is a sad day for us all.
We should remember Hugh for his big heart, funny stories, his guitar playing and for making our lives that much better for having known him.
My heart is with everyone at CFCF. To Bill, Hugh�s daughters, and Francine my deepest sympathies

It was with great shock and sadness when I learned of Hugh's sudden and tragic death. After leaving CBC in '96 I worked briefly with Hugh finding him very personable and professional. He had a "great eye" and feel for TV news. He died doing what he loved. Most times one feels invincible 'behind-the-lens' but the dangers and risks are always present.
My sincere sympathies go out to his family and his CTV co-workers.

What a terrible day for CTV news.

I never actually met Mr. Bill Haugland, but I did watch him every night, for 20+ years (Pulse News). It's almost like he's part of the family. So, like many other Montrealers, it feels like we lost a loved one or dear friend.

His son died doing what he loved and excelled at. It does not make it any less shocking and tragic. I want to offer my condolences to Hugh's families---both personal and professional.

Also, hats off to MUTSUMI, for keeping it together--that surely must have been quite difficult. Montreal mourns with you for a wonderful man gone too soon.

I worked with Hugh when I was an intern at CTV Montreal and stayed in touch with him even after that, because how could you not want to be friends with such a great guy?

Hugh was a kind and inspiring person, funny and dedicated to his family and craft, and a mentor to me. I remember him saying he longed to go to Afghanistan, as dangerous stories were his specialty - he covered 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and more - but was going to respect his family's wishes and stay out of seemingly unavoidable harm's way. His girls were always his top priority... you could tell just how much he loved them by the way he talked about them.

My condolences go out to anyone who ever had the good fortune to hang out with this great guy. It is a sad day for us all.

Hugh, you will be missed.

I did not know him, but after seeing the stories on TV and reading the comments of those who knew him, I find myself deeply saddened at the loss of someone who, by all accounts, was a wonderful man.

Anonymously until today, he brought us so many of the pictures that depicted the news of the day, anchored by his dad for so many years, on a broadcast that has been a staple in the homes of so many Montrealers for decades.

My sincerest condolences to his family and everyone at CTV.

Rest well, Hugh.

Everything I know about how to make footage rock and roll I learned from Hugh back in the days of BuzZone. Hugh could make even the dullest of shots sing and taught me that anything was possible.

Over the years we stayed in contact and he has always been there to lend a helping hand. When I was on deadline (at the other network) and couldn't extract audio -- I called Hugh. When I was out west and suddenly needed a camera person, he called me right back with a name and number. If he couldnt' edit something for me, he'd find me someone who could.

Most of all, I liked just being with him and talking about the state of the world.

Thank you for teaching me so much without even trying, and, for the most part, without me even knowing it. Thank you for your friendship.

Your death is a tragic loss and punches a hole in the soul of eveyone who knew you.

Words cannot express how bad I feel right now. I met Hugh in CEGEP, we we're in the same program (professional theatre) and we hit it off right away. It even turned out that my father and his father worked together at CFCF back in the day. I'll never forget going up to "the hill" together and being welcomed into his home by his lovely family. Hugh and I always seem to get together at regular two year intervals and it was never "I haven't seen you in such a long time." It was like I saw him the day before yesterday. That was the way he made you feel. Like we will always be friends. I spoke to him last month and it was just like that. We were supposed to get together for a beer or six but It didn't pan out in the end.

I can't imagine how hard this has hit Hugh's family. They are a tight knit bunch and I want to express the most sincere and truly heartfelt condolences.

Your dad was hyper-talented, but even more importantly, he was happy. He lived a good life, and he meant so much to so many. He was taken far too soon but he made the most out of the time he was here.

I hope your warm memories serve as a source of comfort in this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Looking at the pictures that have been posted of Hugh, he looks so happy (you can see it in his eyes). Even the pictures that were taken just before he took off in the helicopter that later crashed ... he looks happy. No doubt he will leave a void in the lives of everyone that knew him. May his sweet smile be something you will remember in the time that follows. My condolences to his family.

Heard the news also on the radio, and I was glad to hear that his dad (Bill H) had just seen him the day before and they told each other that they loved each other. A nice way to end ... no fighting, no bickering words ... .

I do the same kind of work that Hugh did, and I can tell you from doing this there isn't a better job in the world. The people,the experiences and the places you get to see and tell the stories about. Everyday something new and interesting.

I have been up in many helicopter shooting out the door as Hugh was, and it is thrilling and challenging. I'm sure Hugh went up there smiling, and confident knowing he was doing a job he loved.

All the best to his colleagues and families.

We covered Katrina together. In the chaos he was a gentleman and such a pro. The best part of that story was when it ended for us. A steak dinner and a cold beer in Baton Rouge.

Like so many of us he loved what he did, and was driven to be at the big story.

But Hugh knew what really mattered.

Those beautiful girls of his.

Goodbye friend.

Life is here and suddenly gone
for some it's short, for others long
The answer lies beyond our reach
it's for us to learn and not to teach

Jesus is with us in times we mourn
Has never left us since we were born
With loving arms He comforts the soul
and puts our lives back into control

A time of joy and a time to weep
promises forever our soul He'll keep
Know our heart goes out to you
yet we know He'll see you through

With Deepest Sympathy!
