Director John Hughes remembered

Filmmaker John Hughes was remembered today by family and friends who gathered in suburban Chicago for a private funeral.

The director of the "Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" died of a heart attack during a Thursday morning walk in Manhattan. The 59-year-old was in New York to visit family.

In addition to family and friends, colleagues such as Vince Vaughn, Ben Stein and Matthew Broderick gathered Tuesday at the Wenban Funeral Home in Lake Forest for Hughes' memorial service.

Stein, who famously played Ferris Bueller's teacher, called the service "very touching, a lot of crying." Stein was one of the speakers paying tribute and sharing stories about Hughes.

After the service, the mourners gathered in a procession to a Lake Forest cemetery, where Hughes was to be laid to rest.
