Hubert grew up in the Grand Junction area and graduated from Grand Junction High School in 1955.
Hubert entered the U.S. Army in February 1960 and, after active duty, served in the U.S. Army Reserves until 1966.
He enjoyed playing the trumpet during his school years and took his talent on to play with the Rhythm Aces.
It was during that time he met Nancy Jean Louk, whose family was a part of the band. They married April 7, 1961, in a ceremony at the Central Christian Church in Jefferson.
Hubert and Nancy were blessed with three children, Tammy, Nichole and Mark.
The family lived in Jefferson for nine years, where Hubert was employed by the Bee and Herald newspapers as a print specialist.
In 1972 they moved to Perry where they enjoyed living on an acreage, complete with horses. In 1982 they moved into their home on Otley Street.
Hubert was employed with Idea Press and later became co-owner until he retired in 1995. He was a successful businessman with his kind, friendly personality and smiling face.
The Perry Elks Lodge was near and dear to him. He was always willing to hold office and, with Nancy’s support, served as exalted ruler. He was honored as Elk of the Year. Just recently, Hubert was presented with lifetime membership in the lodge.
In addition to his great love of the Elks and selfless participation to make the Lodge successful, he was a former Mason, past president of Kiwanis, member of the Perry Golf and Country Club and a league bowler.
Hubert and Nancy enjoyed bowling together, camping with their family, and they always loved to dance.
Hubert was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Nancy; daughter, Tammy Renee; parents-in-law, Keith and Jeanne Louk; and brother-in-law, Dean Louk.
His memory will be cherished by his daughter, Nichole Brown of Jefferson; his son, Mark (Tammy Jo) McClintick of Bloomfield, Neb.; grandchildren, Dakota (Justin) Tysseling, Shannon Brown, Carly Brown, Bailey Brown, Ashley Mayer, Ryan (Lisa) McClintick, Megan (Chase) Anderson, Josie McClintick, Mason McClintick and Diane McClintick; several great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Jeannine Louk of Webster City; nieces; nephews; other relatives; and many friends.
Memorials in Hubert’s name may be left at the funeral home for his family’s later designation.
