My parents were really close friends with Cub. My Mom went to school with him. I remember going out to his house when I was a kid and he and my folks would play cards into the wee hours of the night. Cub always had a quick smile, a great laugh and always a big bear hug.I am sure his kids will miss him dearly. He fought the good fight for a long time. RIP Cub. You will be missed.

To Cubs family, I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I worked with him at the Federal Building and he was one heck of a guy. I will keep Cub and you all in my prayers. May Cub RIP. Love you Cub always.
