With deep sadness, the Hubbard and McConnell families announce the death of Clarence D. Hubbard on Tuesday, August 24, 2010. He was 87-years-old.
Born in Alexandria, South Dakota, his family moved to the Kittitas Valley where he graduated from High School.
Soon thereafter, the family moved to Seattle and he joined his father as a stevedore on the Seattle waterfront.
Clarence joined the Marines and was scheduled for officer training when they discovered he was color blind. He then joined the U.S. Army and fought in the Philippines, where he was wounded.
Clarence returned to the Seattle area, where he married Virginia in 1946. He went to work at the Grain Elevator as a longshoreman. He became Superintendent at the Cargill Elevator and managed the longshoremen loading and unloading wheat. He was a union man and the stevedore liked working for him.
Clarence was preceded in death by his first wife, Virginia, who died in 1998. They were married 52 years. He is survived by two sisters, his son and wife, two grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
In 2000 he married June McConnell. He is survived by his wife June, a step-son and wife, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Clarence spent his retirement years in the Colville area with some travel to Arizona. For many years he was an avid golfer and won several amateur tournaments in the retirement community in Arizona. In his later years, he took up pool and won a number of annual trophies with his play at the Eagles. He recently donated two pool tables to the Eagles expressing his love for the game. Clarence was also a talented woodworker. His bowls and chests were sold locally in downtown Colville. The money received was donated to the Senior Center. He had served as President of the Senior Center for many years.
Clarence was loved by many people. Two families were inspired by his quality of life and he will be deeply missed.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, Sept. 4 at 10 a.m. at the Colville Community Church, 903 S. Elm Street, Colville. |
