He attended college at WVU, graduating with a BA and a BS degree, and finishing his education at the Medical College of Virginia with an MD degree in 1953. He met Ann Whittlesey, the youngest daughter of the History of Medicine professor and married her. After he became a doctor, he first worked as a coal company doctor in Lundale,West Virginia, just a few miles downstream from the Buffalo Creek Dam. After two-and-a-half years in Lundale, and before the tragic flood there, he left for a residency in the world-famous Campbell Orthopedic Clinic in Memphis, Tennessee. After becoming an orthopedic surgeon, he went back to Morgantown to practice with Dr.'s Pickett and Miller in what became known as Morgantown Orthopedics after the addition of Dr.'s Doug Bowers, Jack Stemple, and others. In 1996 he built his own practice and built his own office as James H. Wiley Medical Corporation, practicing at 1195 Pineview Drive until age 77.

They have two children, Scott Setien and Eileen Jackson. Hugh was a member of the Wesley United Methodist Church and his favorite bible quote is Romans 8:37 to 39, "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Hugh's last message is "Love to All", and to his patients "If it hurts, don't do it." Friends and family will be received at Wesley United Methodist Church, 503 North High Street, on Friday, June 23 at 10 AM until the time of service at 1 PM with Rev. Dr. Randall F.
