VIENNA, Va. — Former Navy Federal Credit Union president/CEO Thomas J. Hughes passed away this past Tuesday after a short illness.

Hughes was a retired Vice Admiral for the U.S. Navy and become a Navy Federal volunteer in the early 1970s. Hughes retired from the Navy in 1987 and become Navy Federal's president/CEO. During Hughes nine years running Navy Federal the credit union nearly tripled in assets.

"Tom Hughes' contributions to Navy Federal as a leader and a visionary built the strong foundation of Navy Federal that members and employees appreciate and enjoy today. He really valued the whole culture of the credit union and he always had the individual Sailor and Marine's best interests at heart. We all miss him," said Cutler Dawson, Navy Federal president/CEO.
