Skip, Joe, and Donna,
Words can't stop the agony and pain of losing John at such a young age. What seems to console me some, is that John was able to pull up stakes here in Southborough and venture out to a style of living that was richer for him than the times working with the fire and police for which he had done such an exemplary job. He created a life on his own terms, living life to the fullest for the time that he had. For that we can be thankful.

I'm so sad that miles and "things" got in the way of staying in touch with John. We never think that those that we care about won't be there all the time. It's so true that we should all live each day as if it were our last and treasure each and every friendship so that although we may grieve and feel sorrow, we'll have no regrets. Donna and I have been good friends for over 20 yrs and along with her friendship came a friendship with John. I know that John is in a better place but for Donna and and the people whose lives he touched, that's little comfort when his passing has left such a void in their lives. It is for all of you that my heart aches and all of you that I pray for.

John Hubley
We’re all here today, not because of John’s death, but because of John’s life and how he touched everyone that is here today. He will always be special in our hearts and our memories because of this. I am very grateful to John for his friendship and for bringing me together the people I call our “Whitins Road Family”.
I’d like to share with all of you how I met John. My husband, Brooke and I moved to Whitins Road about 4 years ago. We didn’t know anyone in Sutton, but we loved the area, the woods, and the house we found.
As we drove to our new house, I remember Brooke saying “we need to get to know those people with the shed. There’s always something going on over there!”. Later on, we learned that we may have been referred to as “the new yuppies on the hill” in the shed at that time…..
About 6 months into us living there, my dog, Maggie, got out some how and made her way to John’s back yard. We have 2 dogs, Maggie & Flash. Maggie is about 125 and Flash is about 140! As you know, John had a love for animals, and knew all the pets everyone in the area had, and this was a new one he didn’t know yet. If you can imagine how he must have felt knowing he wanted to help this dog, but the daunting size of her and knowing the only way to find information would be to get right up close and check out her tag!
Once he got up to Maggie, he was even more confused as the phone number on her tag was from a Dog Day Care she went to when we were in Arkansas. Thinking that this dog may be FAR away from home, he called the number and spoke with the woman who ran the dog day care. She let him know that Maggie belonged to Brooke & Suzanne and they had recently moved to somewhere in MA took John’s number, called Brooke and let him know someone had his dog. Brooke called John not knowing what was up, but by that time, John had gotten to know Maggie, said that he’d hang out with her on the back porch until Brooke got home and keep her company. It was apparently love at first sight for the two of them!
That’s where it all started.
John had ATVs and a snowmobile, and we thought it was so cool that John & Steve would take rides out in the woods and we were meeting people who would visit via the trails on their ATVs, and when John’s good friend Eric visited, we’d be out on the ATVs until the wee hours of the morning.
My husband and I, excited to be living out there in the woods, bought a used snow mobile thinking we’d figure out how to ride and get to join in with John when he was out on his. We’re not exactly wood-navigators, but my husband convinced me that we’d take a quick ride “just through the first field” and be right back. John had brought us out on his ATV a couple of times, and we thought we were ready to be “locals”. Brooke told me he had stopped by and met Steve a couple of times and he was sure he wouldn’t mind us riding out there to try out our new toy. So off we went on the snowmobile, not dressed appropriately for the cold and dinner left cooking in the oven as it was just going to be a quick ride.
We tried to remember what John had showed us about the trails, where to go, and how to get home. After about ½ an hour of wrong turns, dead ends, cold and some razzing from me, Brooke finally broke down and called Steve, asking him to turn off our stove as we left dinner cooking in the oven, and we would be a “little later than we expected”. John had been sitting at Steve’s, and kept an eye to the field to see when we were coming out. When we didn’t, John get geared up, and came to find us and bring us back to Steve’s for a cozy coal stove fire, a beer, and a lot of razzing about just how “non-local” we just proved to be and how we were not to go out along until John had the chance to teach us a little more about navigating through the woods!
We then discovered the fun of ATVing all night long with neighbors and friends. Most of whom have trails cut into the woods by Steve & John to connect friends through the preferred method of travel out there. We met John’s good friend Eric through this and we’d all go out in the woods up to Castle Caves. I was usually on the back of John’s ATV as he was always careful to not scare me. As we’d go, he’d tell me stories about the deer he’d seen in this spot, or the turkeys he’d seen in that spot, or where the owl lives up in the tree in the pine groves. I thought it was amazing that he knew how to navigate the woods. We enjoyed it so much, Brooke & I bought ATVs ourselves so we could always go out with John, Steve, & Eric whenever we could.
Just when I thought I loved riding the ATVs, we met Kimmy, Donna and Fran’s daughter, John’s neice. She LOVES ATVs, and could ride all day and night if she had the chance. We’d all have to take turns giving Kimmy and Jessica rides up to Castle Caves, and with about 4 or 5 ATVs at the shed on the weekends, I think we kept them pretty well entertained. This turned into a many-weekend event. Donna, Fran, Kimmy and Jessica would come over for the day, and if we weren’t there, Jessica would call me to see when we were coming over, and remind me to bring the ATV, and that she got first dibs on the ride! And Bill, I’m sure John thanks you for the pool parties we all had at your house when he was watching it for you and it got too hot!
I was always amazed at how Kim would be on the back of my ATV, and she would let me know when to turn to get to Castle Caves. Her Uncle John had brought her out so many times, she knew the way and was so proud to help direct me to that very special place to enjoy the views and conversation upon arrival with many friends and family members. John and Kimmy had a special bond that you could feel when they were together.
John and Steve also had an amazing nack of planning large gatherings and parties at either John’s house or Steve’s shed. They would work together to hold an annual Christmas Party, Kimmy’s birthday parties, a crazy St. Patrick’s Day Party, cookouts in the field, and an unforgettable tribute to Steve’s brother, Sid last November. John and Steve seemed to enjoy the planning and preparation for these important events almost as much as the events themselves. John was so proud to introduce us to his neice and nephew Matt and Tanya at these events, and would always share stories about how they were doing, how smart they are, and what great kids they are.
We were now part of John’s life and he a part of ours. John watched our dogs all the time and became very close with them. He was so proud that he was the only one outside of me & Brooke that Maggie wouldn’t growl at when she sat in her chair. It was fun to have a friend that felt comfortable coming over any time of the day or night. Brooke & I would be watching TV and we’d hear the hum of John’s ATV coming through the woods on the new trail he had made between his house and ours so we could visit through the woods and we’d just sit and visit for hours. I remember when he and Brooke cut out that trail. I knew then that this was a friendship that was solid, we now had a connection between our houses and our lives, and traveled by ATV for visits.
Many of you know of John’s love for music. We’d have what we called “Album night” where he and I would pick out music and sing at the top of our lungs in his living room. If I chose, it would be Stevie Nicks, if we chose, it would be ABBA, and if he chose, it would be, without a doubt, something by Anne Wilson of Heart.
John would email me articles about coyotes, and sometimes scare me with stories of how they may come to my porch at night just to get me scared, however, he always said if they came, to call him and he’d get right over to make sure I was ok. There have been many mornings when I’d call John to ask if he’d heard the coyotes the night before howling and going crazy. That’s when I learned that not only did he hear them, he was talking back to them, standing on his back deck responding and keeping the banter going with the coyotes.
So many people trusted John to watch their house, feed their pets, fix their computers. Over the past couple of years, I have heard countless stories of how John was a big part of so many people’s lives from him as well as from all of you reminiscing in the shed over the past few days. Stories of John being instrumental in reuniting a mother and daughter, how John helped a friend by letting him set up his camper behind his house, fun times he spent with his brother Skip, how he cared for Bill’s cats and watched his house if he was out of town, how he’d take a walk down the road and make sure the Bakers were doing ok after a snow storm, his time spent in Southboro with the Fire and Police Departments with many friends and co-workers, how he enjoyed spending time with his friends Scott and Eric, the trips he got to take with his very best friend Steve, and the very special bond he has with his sister, Donna.
Over the past few weeks, I have had the fortune of realizing an incredible bond between brother and sister. John had always told me that he and his sister Donna had some kind of spiritual connection that I truly didn’t understand until these past few weeks. I get it now, and it’s beautiful.
Steve, you have been so good to John over the years and he told me so many times how much he appreciated your friendship and guidance. I didn’t know John’s biological father I do know he loved him very much, but in our Whitins Family, I always saw you as John’s father and very best friend.
As you know, John leaves behind his sister Donna, brothers Skip & Joe, their spouses Fran, Linda and Andrea, his mother Nita, nieces Kimmy, Jessica, Cassandra, Jillian, Sienna and Tanya and nephew Matt. He also leaves behind his Freizwick family: Christine, Stephanie, David and their spouses whom he loved, and his Whitins Road Family: Steve, Barbara, Bill, Marge, Barbara, Eric, Scott, Amy, Bob, Slocum, The Bakers, Wendy, Danny, Tim, Brooke, me and many more. I don’t know everyone’s stories, and there are so many names, but I know you all have one that is as dear to you as the stories I have just shared about John.
You never know how you may affect someone’s life, bring someone together, help someone realize something about themselves they didn’t know before. I’ll remember John as someone who has done all these things for me. I’m sure you will as well.

John, I'm going to miss you very much, my own personal IT person, Although we've had our differences over the years, we grew to respect and love one another for those differences. We also were brought closer together for the love of computers and technology. When we got our first computer, i was so afraid i'd make a mistake and get a virus and the computer would blow up. You told me the first time you came over to fix a problem with it to never be afraid of the computer you can always fix it or buy a new one. I've never been afraid to attempt anything on a computer since. You've taught me a lot about the technology of a computer but always in my heart you will be my IT go to person.
Today after the funeral, we went down to Steve's and gave them several of the photo poster boards to memorialize you for the Sutton Crew. We all took ATV rides to your favorite place Castle Caves. It was beautiful, it was a full moon, nice , bright, quiet (though we all howled to get the coyotes to howl but they didn't pay attention to us) we gave a toast to you and each said a few words about what you meant to each of us. It was a beautiful night and I'm sure although you weren't there with us physically, spiritually you were there.
PS: you never told me that Brooke drives so fast through the woods!!! Also, I should have listened to Suzanne's story about lost on the snowmobile more because Brooke got us all lost on the trail until I said "gee I don't remember going through so many pine groves to get to the caves." We made it there eventually and thanked you for being a friend and a great brotherinlaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Linda

John,
I am still in shell shock on your passing I can't belive you are gone.
I will always cherish the fond memories I had with you & Steve when I stop over for coffee the many laughs we had and fun.
And of course lets not forget you convince me to buy this new radio scanner that you helped program for me.Now with your passing I will now have to open the manual and try do it myself.I know me,you,steve would laugh on this everytime I foul it up the programing.
Till we meet again John take care from all your freinds at Ma.DCR Forest Fire Control District 7.You were one thee best Smoke Spotter in the state in our Fire Towers,now your watching over the whole forests at a higher tower,Take care

Mrs. Hubley, Skip, Joe, Donna, and Families:
I am so shocked and sorry to hear about John's passing. I wish I had seen this before today to pay my respects. Although I haven't seen John for quite some time and he was closer to my brothers' ages than mine, I do remember that they liked John growing up.
My interactions with him--although very few through the years--were always very pleasant. I remember John as being a kind, friendly, and geunine person; he always greeted me by name and with a smile on the occasions I ran into him. I remember how close Donna and he were, and with my being as close to my brothers as I am, I can't begin to imagine the loss all of you must feel right now. He was one of the first people I remember from this area moving to Sutton, when people "out here" had barely heard of it. Funny what little memories of people who aren't even in our daily Lives that we carry around.
Keep your memories of him strong and fresh; John will always be with you and has clearly touched a lot of hearts and lives in a positive way during his time here, and that is the best way to be remembered. Stay strong, I'm sure that's what he would want for all of you.

John came into our lives about 16 years ago after he learned that our mother, Virginia, and his father, George, were siblings. He tracked Virginia down in Michigan, called her and then arranged for her to visit George in Southborough. No one could have given her a better gift.
After that first meeting, he became a devoted nephew to Virginia. She in turn adored him. He was also a wonderful cousin to us. He called and visited Virginia regularly and stayed in touch with us, visiting when he could and always inviting us to visit him in Massachusetts.
When Virginia died, he helped us arrange a memorial service in Brockton then opened up his house for a gathering. We so appreciated everything he did for Virginia.
Some people are nice on the surface. John was nice to the bone. He made the world a better place. We will miss him forever.
We are so sad at losing him and sad for the friends and family who loved him so much.
from John's cousins Linda (Texas) and Kay (Michigan)

John brought me and my husband , Brooke, into his life and into the lives of those that meant so much to him. I will always remember our album nights singing at the top of our lungs to Stevie Nicks, ABBA, and Heart, the magic of Castle Caves, the care you gave Maggie, Flash, Newt & Marge and the amazingly loyal friendship you gave me. I'll miss you dearly, and I know you'll continue to watch over me as you have since I met you.

Mother and I have a particular love for John. His phone call one Saturday brought me together with my daughter Faith, whom I hadn't seen since her birth and gave Mother the most wonderful 80th birthday gift anyone could have given...the chance to meet her first grandchild! John will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will do our best to pass on the love he gave to us with this fantastic gift.
May the memories of his unique love of life help you during this very difficult time.

We would like to offer our condolences to your family. Our son Bill Russell lives across the road from John. We use to celebrate our Xmas Eves with him & Steve at Bill's house in the past. John was a great guy. And a big help to Bill. He was alway there to help care for Bill's cats and take care of his pool when Bill was on vacation. Plus they had many good times at Steve's cookouts. We will miss seeing John when we visit Bill. And I know how much he'll be missed by Bill. May he rest in peace with God.

To all the members of the Hubley family,
I am very sorry for your loss of John.
As you know John was my adminstrative assistant for the first years of my position as Fire Chief. John was was without question one of the most important members of he Fire Department. As a result of his past experience he knew more about the adminstrative operation of the Department than anyone.
Moving into a new position is difficult for most of us. Without John I would have been truly lost. Through the years he proved to be my teacher in the new computer era as well as many other areas. Only he will know how many times I would yell from my office, "John what the hell did I do, and how do I fix this damm computer." He would come in, punch a few keys, and explain what I did or didn't do.
I can't recall a situation when John made a mistake. To the point that every now an again I would say,
"John will you do me a favor and make a mistake"
It was a great loss to me and the Department when he went next door to work for the Police.
John had the quite innate intelligence that he used wisely and shared with many.
He will be greatly missed.
