Clifford George Hubert

Clifford (Cliff) George Hubert , age 78, passed away on March 9, 2020, in Fort Myers, Florida. Cliff was born in Buffalo, New York, to parents William and Elma Hubert. After high school, Cliff served in the Army as a tank mechanic. He worked most of his career at General Motors as a crane operator in the gray iron foundry in Tonawanda, NY, as well as the Leeds Assembly Plant in Kansas City, MO. Cliff retired in 1991 and settled in the Kansas City, MO area in 1994. He resided in Lone Jack, Missouri, until 1999. Cliff met the love of his life, Judy Thompson, in 1996. The couple married in 2000 and lived in Cass County, MO, until 2015 when they moved to Fort Myers, FL. Cliff was active in Southtowns Walleye, a fishing sports club, while living in Orchard Park, NY. In Kansas City, he was a member of The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the Masonic Lodge and Temple—Knights Templar, and the Ararat Shrine in which he was a member of The Antique Auto Club and volunteered as a shuttle van driver to transport children to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, MO. Despite being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2017 and undergoing treatment at Florida Cancer Specialists, Cliff thoroughly enjoyed his life during times of remission. He played golf; hosted visiting friends and family who escaped the cold winters in the North; spent many days on the beautiful beaches of Sanibel Island; and floated peacefully on an air raft in his pool, while reading good books. He and his wife Judy traveled to visit family and friends every summer; and in June, 2019, the couple spent a wonderful family vacation with the kids and grandkids in Kailua, Oahu, HI. Cliff enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing card games, Sequence, and Mexican Train Dominos. He loved mowing grass on their 10 acre place in Missouri, he loved horses and trail-riding, and he loved old cars (espically very heavy, long cars from the 50’s). Big Band music was his favorite music. Cliff was a master mechanic, and a great remodeler. He shared his knowledge and time freely with anyone who asked. He was kind and gentle, had a dry humor, and loved spending time with his children, grandkids, and friends. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him! Cliff leaves his wife, Judy Thompson, of the home in Fort Myers; his oldest daughter, Shari Hanrahan (Bill) of Orchard Park, NY; his youngest daughter Bobbie King (Rob), Kritlie and Miler, of Kansas City, MO; his stepson Allen Thompson (Janet), Ashley and Brittany, of Flower Mound, TX; his stepson Craig Thompson (Genevieve), Sam, Henry, and Gus, of Munster, IN. Surviving siblings are Cornelius (Geraldine) Hubert, Hamburg, NY; Raymond (Mary) Hubert, Roanoke, VA; and William (Connie) Hubert, Orchard Park, NY, and Fort Myers, FL.
