While working and raising a family with his late wife Betty, he attended night school earning a Juris Doctor degree from DePaul University.  He enjoyed telling a good story, reading, playing tennis, watching Westerns, and playing bridge. Hub was an avid Sox and Notre Dame fan. Guided by an abiding faith, Hub was a member of St. Mary Parish and St. Vincent DePaul Society.
