Harvey (Bud) Irvin Hubert

Harvey (Bud) Irvin Hubert died at his Pleasants Valley home, west of Winters,
Friday, April 9, 2004 at the age of 94.

A Winters resident for 90 years, Mr. Hubert was born to John and Artimissa
(Davis) Hubert on Dec. 5, 1909 in Palermo.  At the time of his birth, his father
was working the orange groves.  Mr. Hubert's grandfather, Harris Hubert, settled
in Pleasants Valley in the 1890s.  As a child, Bud and his family lived and
worked on the Pleasant Ranch, where he attended Pleasant's Valley School.  There
he met Welda Tucker, his wife to be, who was a daughter of a pioneer family who
had settled in Winters in the 1870s.  During the 1920s Bud's father owned and
operated a gas station at Fourth Street and Grant Avenue.  Bud attended Winters
Elementary School.  He often told the story about the school swaying back and
forth when the wind would blow.

He married Welda in 1932.  Bud was employed as a foreman by the Gaddini Ranch. 
He served in this position for 10 years.  Two sons were born to the Hubert
family during this time.  

In 1942, Mr. Hubert purchased the Sky High Fruit Ranch, next to Welda's father's
ranch, the Tucker homestead.  The mountaintop orchard was known for having the
first apricots of the season, sent to the local and eastern markets.  Though the
orchard had been neglected for a long time, with hard work Mr. Hubert was
successful and paid off the ranch in short order.  Two daughters were born in
the early 1940s.

Bud was an avid hunter and fisherman throughout his life.  This love has been
passed on to his sons, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Survivors include his sons Bud, of Yolo, and John and his wife Judith, of
Gualala; daughters Gail Gage and her husband Richard, of Winters, and Vicky
Hayes and her husband Dale of Washington; grandchildren Lynnette, Elsie, Cara,
Jody, Jamie, Mike, Joe, Doug, Nathan, Bill and Lee.  He is also survived by 18
great-grandchildren.

Mr. Hubert was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Welda, in 1983.

A graveside service was held on Tuesday, April 13, at the Winters Cemetery.

Remembrances are requested to the Yolo Hospice, P.O. Box 1014, Davis, CA 95697.
