Robert “Bob” William Hubal
Robert (Bob) William Hubal of Thompson, PA passed away tragically September 27, 2017. He was born July 8, 1968 to the late Andrew and Joyce (Adams) Hubal.
Bob is survived by his son, Craig and wife, Mallery; grandsons, Layne, Griffin, Benjamin and Andrew all of Susquehanna; son, Rob and his 4 legged buddy, Turbo of Thompson; two brothers, Andy, David (Cheryl); two sisters, Lori, Karen (Jim) Trynoski; nieces, Rachel and Kaylin; nephew, Keith all of Thompson; several aunts, uncles, and many, many friends.
Bob was a life time farmer following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. Throughout Bob’s life he enjoyed dairy farming and raising beef cattle. Over the years Bob had worked with his dad, brother Andy, and both his sons on the family farm. Bob was a hard worker, putting in long hours until the work was done. He hunted not only on the farm but, hunting trips with family and friends to various states for several types of game. He took great pleasure in teaching his sons to hunt, finding greater pleasure in watching their success!
Bob had a lot of inner kid, taking his family on vacation to Disney World several times. As the boys grew, Bob could be found quad racing with and against Craig and Rob. Too numerous to list are his extra sons; if you were found on the floor in the living room at 4am, to the barn you went to help with the chores. But if one of you needed a place to stay, Bob’s door was always open with dinner on the table and a pillow and blanket on the couch.
A Funeral Service was held on Monday, October 9, 2017 at the Hennessey’s Funeral Home, 747 Jackson Ave. Susquehanna, PA.
Interment will be held in the Ararat Cemetery, Ararat, PA.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Thompson Hose Company, Thompson, PA. 18465.
