He was born June 8, 1946, in Niagara Falls, N.Y. In 1968, he graduated from the University of Rochester with a bachelor's degree in history. Upon graduation, he served two years in the Peace Corps in Zambales, the Philippines, where he met his wife Justice.

He lived life to the beat of his own drum. He brought his wife to the United States after his Peace Corps stint and together they fought the racism that mixed couples sometimes face. At one time, he became personally responsible for bringing dozens of Justice's family members to this country. He believed himself to be part of the civil rights movement and often provided pro bono legal assistance to those who felt they were oppressed.
For the last decade, he fought and won the battle of drug and alcohol addiction, remaining clean and sober for the last several months of his life. Though he remained homeless for those months, he was known to literally give the shirt off his back to help someone else in need.
He is survived by his children, Bart, Sidney and Ruby Hubbard; their mother, J.D. Asis, formerly J.D. Hubbard; and grandchildren, John, Grey, Brandon, Amer, Allurai and Elaney.
He is further survived by his uncle, Horatio Seaward; brothers, George and John Hubbard; stepsisters, Janet Wilson and Katherine Smythe; stepbrothers, William and Robert Kaczoe; stepmother, Florence Hubbard; and many nephews, nieces and loving friends.
