Martin H. Hubers

Spec, as he was known to all, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Monday, February 14, 2005 at the age of 74.

Spec married the former Marlene Revoir on October 13, 1956; she preceded him in death in 2001. As a young man, Spec was employed at Adler Brau Brewery in Appleton, and in 1968 he received the “job of a lifetime” working for the Village of Kimberly until his retirement in 1992. Spec enjoyed visiting his sons’ cottages, fishing, tinkering in his garage, and had a passion for inventing many things. He was very talented in many areas, but he was best known for his wood carvings which were displayed with pride in his yard for many years. Spec always enjoyed caring for the family pets, especially Sasha, Lady, and Sparkles.
