So sorry for your loss. Hubert was a great man and friend. He is dancing with the angels in heaven now I’m sure and having the best tine ever!
I was fortunate to meet your parents during my time at the Towers.. your parents were both the most caring, considerate folks. Your father was truly a gentleman and a total delight. I will have your mom in my thoughts while she deals with her loss. Prayers for your family
Rest in peace sir, and may god touch your family in their time of need

Hubert I believe the earth is a little less bright with you gone but heaven is a lot brighter. Thank you for such an example of how godly men live and for always making me feel like family to you. I love you and will miss you. See you soon “brother Smith”. 😉
Hubert and Earlene have been and are Christ’s heart and hands ministering to many in this world. Doris and I would not be enjoying our lives together had not Hubert and Earlene introduced us in 2008. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints” (Psalm 116:15). Precious because Hubert is now absent from us, and present with his Lord (2Corinthians 5:8). How much more splendid now will our trip be when we join Hubert there with Christ Jesus!
Hubert and Earlene are two very special people! I always loved every minute that I spent with them. Very dear people, with such generous and loving hearts. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ms. Earlene and the family. We will all miss Hubert here on earth, but look forward to seeing him again one day.
Hubert Smith was one of the finest Christian man I have ever met
