So sorry to hear of Hubert’s passing. A lot of good & funny times were spent at Hubert & Betty’s home. He was always so very welcoming. And he always grew the best tomatoes. RIP Mr. Rabel
Hubert was one of the nicest ment I ever had the pleasure to know. He took Austin and I into his family as though we had been there our entire lives and continued so even afterwards. We will always have the fondest memories of him. Thankful of the promise to see him again one day.
