Paul M. Hubner Sr.

He was born in Chesterfield, NH on August 5, 1937, the son of Anna (Delohery) and Frank Hubner, Sr.

Paul attended Chesterfield school and was a graduate of Brattleboro High School where he was a member of the Future Farmers of America. After high school, he attended the Vermont Technical College where he received an associate’s degree in farming. Paul went on to serve his country as a cook in the National Guard, where he perfected his skills for feeding large groups of people, a talent that would serve him well throughout the years.

Paul was dedicated to his community and was a charter member of the Chesterfield Lions Club, where he was a fixture at the annual pancake breakfast. He also helped with the Chesterfield American Legion Post 86 Christmas basket program, served as a volunteer firefighter, and was the longtime Scout Master of Boy Scout Troop 286.

He was a partner with his late brother, Frank A. “Bub” Hubner, Jr. in Hubner Bros. Inc. in Chesterfield, NH. He was a highly skilled bulldozer operator who helped to shape the landscape of Southern New Hampshire and Vermont. When not working construction, Paul could be found tending the cows and working the land of his family farm in Chesterfield. He also enjoyed traveling with his wife and family, and made several trips to Europe and to Walt Disney World, among other places.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 44 years, Donna Tacy Hubner of Chesterfield, NH; three sons; Paul M. Hubner, Jr. of Winchester, NH, Scott Hubner of Sutton, VT, and Devon P. Hubner and his wife Brooke of Boothbay Harbor, ME; three daughters; Judith Lovelace and her husband Richard of Port Hueneme, CA, Diane Hubner of Winchester, NH and Amanda Kinson and her husband Joel of Marlow, NH; one sister; Cynthia “Cindy” H.
