Hugh McKillop, Jr., on December 18, 2021, of Washington Twp. Age 72. Beloved husband of Catherine (nee Kiker). Loving father of Jessica Sequinot, Hugh McKillop, III and Brian McKillop (Kate).

“Coach Hugh” was a dedicated coach of young athletes. While many of his years were spent on the football field and baseball diamond, he influenced many others off the field as well. He had a special way of relating to the kids he coached. He was genuine and compassionate while also being consistent with his principles he believed in, many of which carry over into real life.
When he wasn’t coaching, he was also a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan. He would watch Eagles games with family and friends every Sunday in his chair. He bled Eagle green for sure.
While he loved coaching and the Eagles, his family always came first. He loved going on long 2 hour walks with his bride of 49 years, Catherine. Dad was a role model for my sister, brother, and me. Pop was more than a grandfather to his grandkids; he was not only a role model but also a hero to them. He would always say, “family above all.” He was a rock for many in our family.
Pop, many will miss you. Rest Easy Dad, We love you!
