Hubert married his one true love, Monette Hicks, on July 24, 1959. The couple spent a timeless 61 years together filled with many precious memories. He retired from the Franklin Corporation after many years of service. Aside from his career as a husband and working man, Hubert found joy in working outdoors in his treasured garden.

In connection with his practices as a deacon, Hubert taught children’s Sunday School; training children in the way they should go. Hubert didn’t simply pass away; he held the cure to death in his soul, an active relationship with Jesus.
