Freddy Hubbard Obituary
Hubbard
7/2/1928 - 1/29/2015
Freddy was born and raised in rural N Auburn. He walked to a one-room schoolhouse on what is now Bell Rd. He graduated from Auburn Elementary and attended Placer High. He joined the navy in 1946, served two years as a ship's cook and traveled the coast from San Francisco to Alaska. After being discharged he worked on his dad's ranch doing various jobs with his D2 tractor and cleared land for property owners in Nevada County.
In 1951 he married Sandra Logan. They celebrated their 63rd Anniversary November 2, 2014. Freddy worked as a heavy-duty mechanic/welder for Marysville Tractor, Siller Bros. in Yuba City, construction of I-80 at Donner Summit, French Meadows Dam, Hell Hole Dam, Sutherland Const. Cornwell Tools and Robinson Timber in Grass Valley. He retired in 1992.
Freddy is survived by his wife, Sandra and two daughters, Pam (Ron) Albin and Linda (David) Smith, five grandchildren Charity (Derek) Hendricksen, Casey (Cy) Adams, Jessica (Cameron) Bolden, Adam (Allyson) Blankinship and Monica Smith, 10 great grandchildren and brother Jim Hubbard who lives in Bonanza Ore., Sisters-in-law Marge Hubbard and Evelyn Hubbard, Nieces Polly Keys, Jody Grohs, Ella Hurbant, Irene Deen, Susan Owen, Shari Easton, Nephews Mike Hubbard Rex and Steve Williams and Randy and Jimmy Logan. He is preceded in death by his sister Helen Williams and brother Richard Hubbard.
Freddy enjoyed hunting and fishing with his brother Richard (Snuffy) and numerous other fishing buddies. He always loved a good joke! Fred and Sandy traveled often to Joseph, Ore., to enjoy long leisurely visits with their dear friends Doug and Janie Tippett. Freddy passed away from a long illness. He was a loving husband and father. He will be deeply missed.
Per his wishes, no services will be held. Donations may be made to your favorite charity.

Sandy,
I worked with you at the Bank of Alex Brown a long time ago and I saw Freddy's name and then saw your name and put the two together. So sorry for your loss. I always remember you as such a sweet soft spoken beautiful lady and I remember Freddy always laughing and joking. It has been a long time since I have seen you but I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for the loss of your dear husband. Danelle Wilber

Like Michael, Fred taught me how to fish on Coon Creek. To this day I can pull trout out of any river or creek while other unsuccessful anglers look on in disbelief. I think he unknowingly was a zen fishing master.
He always made time to help me sight in a new rifle scope or repair a broken fishing reel.
Whenever I think of Fred, I always see him leaning on his stack of firewood peering through his high-powered binoculars at all the wildlife on Big Hill.
My condolences to Sandy and the entire Hubbard family. Quite a man. Quite a neighbor.

After 30 years of being a next door neighbor to Fred and
Sandy, I remember Fred with a smile on his face and a friendly wave as I would pass by his home, him observing the wildlife and world around him. I miss him.

Dear Fred,
Thank you for your helping attitude toward me when I was just learning to fish Coon Creek...no weights and all slack line...there is something to be said for that in life as well as fishing. You're a good man.

We never had the chance to know Fred, but after taking care of his family members for years one thing is for sure, Fred was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. All the family and loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will always remember seeing Fred at the top of the Hill, leaning on the fence with a smile and a wave as I drove out of his Dad's Ranch.
I've lost my "King of the Hill" but I'll keep the memory forever.

Sending love to Aunt Sandra and all of you. I am glad we had a wonderful visit at Christmastime. We have many wonderful memories of the Hubbard Campouts and picnics together and of Fred's fun New Year's Eve parties. Dad loved going out and taking walks with Fred. He always answered the phone with a smile in his voice. I miss him dearly.

Charity, Pam, Sandra and the rest of the Hubbard family - Please know I send you my love and deepest condolences at the loss of your grandfather, father and husband. I do know this pain. Hugs all around. My prayer is that your grief be brief, yet complete, and your joy return quickly so that you may again experience happiness in your days more often than sadness.
