The angels will be rolling with laughter now that Fred is there! We will always remember the good times bowling with Fred and Gretchen on the Poverty League in the 1990s and hearing all of Fred's stories about golfing.
Our condolences to Gretchen and to Fred's family.
Sincerely, Andrew and Lorie Woloson

Growing up in Hilton and going to HCS for all 12 years, I had the distinct priviledge and honow of having Mr. Lubes for both Homeroom and English (twice). He was one of the very best people I knew and I always considered him a friend of all the students. I don't know of anyone who didn't like him. His smile and laugh were always welcome! The world is not quite so bright now that he has left.

Mr. Lubes was my English teacher during my Junior year at Hilton High School. I also had the privilege of playing tennis for him and Mrs. Wyant on the girls team. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
