Remembrance of 'Hubbs" June 20

The life of John D. Hubbard will be remembered by family and friends Sunday, June 20 at 6 p.m. on the village green. He died May 6 following a long illness.

John, known to many as "Hubbs", was long a fixture in Hamilton, known for his writing, his photography and his true affection for this rural place and its people. This celebration of a life well lived will include readings of some of John's writing and music by friends and family.

A graduate of Colgate, John returned to work at the university after spending time as a sports editor, columnist and photographer at The Bennington (VT) Banner. After his retirement, he joined the staff of Community Memorial Hospital as VP for Community Relations.  John was equally well known for his columns in The MidYork Weekly and The Oneida Daily Dispatch. He also was the man behind the slide shows at the Hamilton Theater.

John's family invites those who knew and appreciated him to attend and celebrate his life, his work and his friendship. Those attending may, if they wish, bring something to add to a common table of light refreshments.

The gathering will be held rain or shine.
