Rob Drumm - Larry, Steve and Leona....I am sorry to hear that Hubert has passed away. I will always remember working on those hot August days in the hay field with Hubert. Not taking a break until the wagon was loaded and not quitting until the field was done. And while it was hard work, I now remember working those summers with Hubert fondly because they helped teach me the value of working hard until your task is complete. That work ethic I carry with me today and has helped me be successful in life. You all are in my prayers. Rob
