Francis John Hubert ’48

Francis Hubert died Feb. 28, 1999, of prostate cancer. He was 77.

He came to Princeton from Olney H.S. and the Navy in the South Pacific. At Princeton, he married Elda, joined Cloister, and graduated with a BS in electrical engineering.

After graduation, Elda and Francis moved to California, where he worked for Edison Co. and Aeroject until 1954, when he joined the Dept. of Water and Power of L.A. Their daughters were born in 1948 and 1949. He later earned a master's in electrical engineering from USC. Francis was employed by the city of L.A. for 45 years, retiring in 1998.

He was a movie buff, a devotee of scientific literature, and a doting grandfather.

To Elda and their daughters Joan and Carol, the class extends its deepest sympathy and shares in the loss of a devoted Princetonian.
