Howard Hubbard

I served with Howard on the Cascade Natural Gas board of directors between 2002 & 2007. Howard was a smart, friendly and stand up gentleman. Im sorry to learn of your loss, with our deepest sympathy...

a life well lived with honor, charity, humor and concern for all.

I first came to know Howard in April of 2002 when I joined the Cascade Natural Gas Board that we both continued to serve on for several more years before it's eventual sale to MDU Resources in 2007. Howard was a very thoughful/smart, complimentary, kind and supportive gentleman with emphasis on the gentleman quality. I am honored to have known and worked with Howard if only for a brief 5 years... he will be missed by many!

I was impressed with the love that he showed with his immediate family and extended family. I remember the interaction with my mother and father. Whenever we would meet with Loujauan and Howard I knew it would be a positive experience. I remember the financial help for my brother David and I in our younger years with various odd jobs.

Some 26 years ago, I was Howard's partner in a local golf event. He was taken with my story that I was getting married the following week -- to a former classmate I'd re-met during the 20th high school reunion. Out of nowhere, he offered his Hawaiian condo for our honeymoon -- no strings attached. That random act of kindness was remembered on our 25th anniversary last summer. RIP, Howard. And thanks.

Howard was a great boss and a wonderfull friend. When we worked together at Washington Federal, he was always kind and supportive of me. We also spent a lot of time on the Oregon rivers fishing for salmon and steelhead. He was with me the day I caught a 24 pound steelhead on the Lewis river. When I left to become President of Westmark, Howard helped me with referrals to other Financial institutions and saw to it that Washington Federal was one of our first accounts.

Smartest...

I have very fond memories of Howard as a boss and a friend while at Washington Federal and after. He has continued to serve as a role model for me as I progress through the banking industry. Thank you Howard! You will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with Lou Juan and family.
