Kenneth Arthur Henry Hubbards
Age 81, of Glen Haven, passed away suddenly on Sunday, March 5, 2017 in Halifax. Born in Gorleston-on-Sea, England on July 3, 1935, he was the son of the late Arthur and Edith (Morse) Hubbard. He was deeply loved by his family and friends, and highly respected by countless others.
He is survived by his loving wife Caroline Louise (Bennet) Hubbard, sisters Maureen Hubbard and Jennifer Brown, daughters Amanda (Steve Kissel) and Sarah Tingley (Geoff) and son Jamie (Lyn Kerans), as well as by his beloved grandchildren, Helen Kissel, Jay Hubbard, Sandy Hubbard and Anna Louise Tingley. He is also missed by a large extended family and many close friends. He was predeceased by a young sister Eileen, in childhood, and by his infant daughter Susan Louise.
Ken entered Dartmouth Naval Academy in Dartmouth, England and then graduated from RNC Greenwich. He went on to enjoy a successful career in the Royal Navy, where he retired as Lieutenant Commander.
Ken first came to Halifax to join the Sixth Submarine Squadron in 1958. Here he met Caroline Bennet, who held his heart forever more. They married in England in 1960 and together raised a happy, loving family. They enjoyed the opportunity to live in many parts of the world over the years, with time spent living in England, Scotland, Singapore, Labrador and Nova Scotia.
Ken emigrated to Canada in 1968, working in Labour Relations at Wabush Mines in Labrador for several years before moving to Nova Scotia, where he began a new career as a Management Consultant. Ken’s insights and advice were highly sought after throughout his career by colleagues, clients, and those he connected with in all facets of his life.
Ken was a man of honour, who taught his children the value of working hard, respecting others, and following through on commitments through his example of doing the right thing, not necessarily the easy thing. He demonstrated that there was deep value in serving others through many years of volunteer work, and his willingness to help his friends and community. He had an especially deep connection with St. Paul’s Anglican Church, French Village, where he served as both Warden and Treasurer.
Ken’s work ethic and vigour were legendary. In just over one week, in 1974, he and his friends built the beautiful log home in Glen Haven that he and Caroline lived in from then on. From this treasured spot, they raised their family, welcomed friends, and never tired of taking in the view. After Ken’s retirement, he and Caroline were a familiar sight walking around Indian Point Road each and every weekday morning, throughout the year. In their later years, they led active and adventurous lives, trekking across Newfoundland, New Zealand, Austria, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England, where they completed the Coast-to-Coast Walk, one of many memorable distance hikes they enjoyed.
A funeral service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, March 11, 2017, officiating by Reverend Brieanna Andrews, and assisted by Reverend Neale Bennet, at St. Margaret’s Anglican Church, 36 St. Margaret’s Crescent, Tantallon. No prior visitation. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Ken’s memory to Parkinson Canada or St. Paul’s Anglican Church, French Village would be appreciated.
