He later went on to get his GED.  For over 30 years he was an over-the-road trucker traveling all over the country known on the CB as “Bear.”  Hubert loved trucking and was a fan of Mississippi State University.  Being an only son, he loved to spend time with family, and he made many friends at the Care Center.  If Gunsmoke was on, Hubert was watching it. He loved it so much that he could quote every episode word for word. He was a member of Friendship Baptist Church in Aberdeen.
