Hubert Aamodt Obituary

Hubert N. Aamodt - Melbourne - Beloved husband, Lt. Col. Hubert N. Aamodt, U.S. Army, Retired, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 18, 2009 after a long illness. Hubert was born June 13, 1920 in Hibbing, Minnesota to Nels and Helga Aamodt. Hubert served from 1942-1965 with the Army Counter-Intelligence Corps. He served during World War II, the Korean Conflict, and received numerous medals and awards. Mr. Aamodt was a member of Advent Lutheran Church. He was a life member of the American Legion, a 32nd degree Mason of the United American Lodge #819, a charter member of the Retired Army Intelligence Corps, and a life member of the Alaska Peace Officers Associations. Hugh is survived by his wife, Ursula; sons, Mike (Patsy), and Jerry (Evelyn); daughters, Patty (Mike) Hostetter, Peggy Aamodt, and Kathy (LeRoy) Shank; step-sons, Ron and Patrick Shourds; 19 grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Helga and Nels Aamodt and his sister, Margaret Williams. Hugh enjoyed his family and friends, traveling, meeting new people, reading, and hunting for treasures at auctions and garage sales. He often said how proud he was of his children. Hugh will be missed by all who knew him for his sense of humor, ready smile, and outgoing nature. A memorial service will take place Sunday, October 25th at 4 p.m. at the Advent Lutheran Church, 7550 N. Wickham Rd., Melbourne, FL. His ashes will be interred at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Ft. Pierce. Mr. Aamodt's children are grateful to Ursula for the care she provided their father in the difficult last years of his life.

Dear Peggy, Mike, Jerry, Patty, Kathy and family,
It's hard to believe the Aamodt family has been a part of our family for over 50 years. Even though you moved to Alaska about 47 years ago, our families always kept in touch. I'll never forget how wonderful Mr. Aamodt was to us kids - remember the baby alligators in the kid's pool - and the fantastic squash he grew and then fried that we ate like candy? And the summer days when he would drop us off at the pool on his way to work at Ft. Holabird? What a wonderful man - we will cherish his memory. Love, the Boulier family

To Lonne, Ried, and Jennifer,
My loss is your loss. We need to recognize that grandchildren feel the hurt of losing a loved one, too. Papa loved you very much, as we all loved him. I know you will always hold him tenderly in your hearts because of who you are.

Ursula, and the rest of the family. Our deepest condolences to the family. I will never forget Hugh who became Poppa to my children. They grew up with an Aapa but it meant a whole lot to them having a Poppa too. The few days of visits he made to Barrow, he left good memories. God bless you all. Love from the Simmonds's.
