Notes:

HUBER, Norma Mildred Passed away suddenly on August 26, 2014 at St. Mary's Hospital in Kitchener. She was born in Kitchener (formerly Berlin) on August 31, 1916 to Herbert and Mabel Huber. She was predeceased by her brothers Ross (Gladys), Grant (Mary), sister Doris (2013) and niece Nancy (Burke). She is survived by her niece Barbara (Rick) of Markham, nephews David (Cynthia) of Westcliffe Colorado, Chris (Kedy) and Alan (Ngaio) of Vancouver. She will be sorely missed by her niece and nephews and great and great-great nieces and nephews who knew her as a kind, generous, fun loving aunt. Norma was an enthusiastic and meticulous genealogist and was an organizer of two large Huber Family re-unions in 1991 and 2000. She loved bird-watching and travelling (even going on a trip to the Amazon in her eighties). Both she and her sister Doris supported numerous charities related to the preservation of the environment and wildlife and aid in 3rd world countries. Also, Norma sponsored a foster child for many years in South America. She sang in various church choirs and especially enjoyed being a bell-ringer in a choral group. Norma trained as a nurse at Toronto Sick Kids Hospital and then worked in the lab at the Banting Institute until she retired. She caringly looked after Doris helping her reach the age of 103. A special thanks to Seble and Dorine, her home care workers, her friends at Sandhills Retirement community and her longtime friends (too many to list) who helped her remain active and enthusiastic until her passing. She was cremated and a private family service will be held at a later date. To leave a message of condolence, please visit www.ratzbechtelfuneralhome.com.

Notes:

HUBER, Dr. David Grant Dr. David Grant Huber passed away peacefully on January 20, 2011 at the Lions Gate Hospital in Vancouver, BC. Grant was born on April 20, 1919 in Regina, SK to Herbert and Mabel Huber. He spent most of his childhood in Kitchener, ON and attended the University of Toronto where he took both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in mechanical engineering in his specialty of fluid mechanics. A research and teaching position followed at the university. In 1943 he married Mary Louise Shelley of Kitchener and together they had four children in their 67 years of marriage. In 1954 the family moved to Iowa City where Grant took his PHD in mechanical engineering from Iowa State University. In 1958 he took the position of Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the newly formed faculty at McMaster University, Hamilton, ON. The family lived in Ancaster until 1968 when he moved to the newly formed department of engineering at the University of Calgary. During his tenure at McMaster, Grant was asked by the Canadian government to help start Karnataka Regional Engineering College outside of Mangalore, India in 1965 which was the start of many a family adventure overseas. The College has grown to be one of the most respected universities in India and was the basis of the city of Hamilton being twinned with Mangalore. Dr. Huber left the University of Calgary to take a position at Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand. He retired in 1985 in Ancaster where he loved walking in the valley. He volunteered for many years for the Ancaster Historical Society but in the summers, Mary and Grant would be canoeing, swimming and singing around the campfire at their beloved cottage of over 50 years on Ahmic Lake near Parry Sound. Grant's passion was teaching. The Dr. David Grant Huber Scholarship to help students entering engineering from Westcliffe, Colorado high school will maintain his legacy of the importance of science education to the betterment of society. His friends and family will remember him for instilling the need for excellence in work, friendship, fun and adventure in life. Dr. Huber was preceded by his brother Ross and daughter Nancy. He is survived by his wife Mary, now of Vancouver, two sisters, Norma and Doris of Kitchener, niece Barbara Mori (husband Rick) of Toronto, three sons, David of Westcliffe, CO (wife Cynthia), Drs. Chris (wife Kedy) and Alan (wife Ngaio) of Vancouver, along with four wonderful grandchildren, Jasmine, Jason, Jeremy and Ella. He will be buried in Woodland Cemetery in Kitchener. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully accepted to the Mennonite Central Committee or UNICEF
