Hubert worked as an independent car and auto parts dealer for much of his adult life. Owning his first dealership in 1947, he continued to retain his North Carolina dealer license until the age of 95, and remained active buying and selling automobiles well into his 90’s. Hubert was jovial, loved conversation, meeting people, and attending any type of auction sale. A born energetic salesman and storyteller, he never met a stranger and was a friend to many. He attended Dunn Advent Christian Church in Dunn, NC and Stones Creek Advent Christian Church, Benson, NC.
Surviving include his sister Ruby Allen of Four Oaks, NC, several nieces and nephews, and special family, Don Lee of Four Oaks, NC and Richard, Lisa and Peyton Lee of Clayton, NC.
