Victor Francis Hubbard was born on October 3, 1928, in Colfax, WA to the parents of Victor and Ruby Hubbard.  He had two super nice sisters who loved him so much:  Glory and June.

Vic graduated from Lewis and Clark High School and then entered the Navy serving as a hospital apprentice for 2 years on the warship USS Quick.  Upon discharge from the Navy, he went on to Eastern Washington State College majoring in Science/Math Education, graduating with honors.  He eventually entered Stanford University to get his Masters in Teaching Chemistry. He taught chemistry for 14 years at Richland High School. The summer of ’69, Vic took a group of high school students on a six-week tour of the capital cities of Europe through a program called People to People Student Ambassador Program…a very rewarding experience for him.

Eventually, Vic was hired on at Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company (ARCHO) as a manager for the Environmental Laboratory. After several years at Hanford, he retired from Boeing Computer Services in Richland.

During his time at Hanford, he took courses to become a certified professional manager (one of the first two at Hanford to be certified) and taught management classes to other managers. He excelled in everything he did.  Eventually he married Donna.  They were happily married for 50 years until Vic’s passing on to his heavenly home on Friday, November 24, 2023.  Vic and Donna had one daughter, Amy.

Vic’s family called him a professional student. He was a man driven to excellence in everything that he did.  His life was exemplary. He is greatly missed.

His children include:

Son Victor and Diane Hubbard and granddaughters Meika and Bryn and great grandson Soren, Bellingham. Another baby girl arriving in December.

Son Bradley and Sandra Hubbard, Bellingham and granddaughter, Karlee.

Daughter Christy Hubbard, Green Valley AZ, grandchildren Mitchell, Mia and Jarrod and great granddaughter, Medley.
