Fred worked as a claims adjuster for General Adjustment Bureau from 1956 to 1971, at which time he purchased what became Hubley Insurance Services. Fred sold the business to Babbitt-Sholund Insurance in 1994 and continued working there for many years. In addition to his passion for hunting and fishing, Fred loved to downhill ski, golf and watch the Packers play. Fred was active in the community having volunteered as a driver for FISH.
