  • To Hubert's family: From the time I was a very little girl, I remember Hubert at the office. He was such a character! My fondest memories are of Hubert driving the big red truck and getting it so stuck. He also tried to teach me to drive a standard. Poor fella, I am only 5'1". There was just no way I was going to reach the pedals of the truck! It was kind of him to try though. I will always remember Hubert with a little chuckle and a sparkle in his eye. I am blessed to have known him. Sidney - Posted by: Sidney Macaw (Friend) on: Jun 05, 2005
