Lowell, and family Our deepest sympathy to each of you, sitting here this morning and thinking what Hubert meant to me, I know that I owe my career to him, 26 yrs ago he took the chance and made me his sub. Hubert and Trev worked together, and that made it possible for us to really get to know the man that Hubert was, I have the deepest respect for him, I know that him being a mail carrier he will understand why i cannot attend his services, No Sub. As i carry the mail my thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. I will miss his smile and seeing him at one of his favorite places.. God Bless All Of YOU

Having known Hubert only over the past several years, I cannot speak to what kind of person he was as a young man. Only to the man I knew as he reached the end of his journey through life. I've never met anyone who took better care of the things he was steward over, you could have eaton dinner off his garage floor. He was honest, caring, thoughtful and always ready to help. He really missed his wife Dee. Hubert was one of the 'Best' men I've had the honor to call my friend. Everyone who knew him has lost an exceptional friend. I am sorry for the families loss, and are prayers are with you.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to all of Hubert's family. As a niece, I know what a dedicated husband he was as he took such good care of Aunt Dee and that loss broke his heart. When he called last week to see how I was doing as he heard that I broke my ankle his concern was so touching. I will miss his phone calls and may he rest in peace.
