While you were taken from us too soon, the son you left behind went on to forge a booming family who still get together for holidays, hold each other in sorrow and celebrate each other in joy. Your name is still mentioned at gatherings and your picture is hung in our homes. Your name lives on in 16 great, great grandchildren. You raised a fighter and it has only grown from there. Your son was my greatest role model growing up and I strive to be the same for my grandchildren someday. Hubbards are still holding down the Rogue Valley with pride.
