Samuel T. Hubbard III ’40

Body

Sam died July 2, 2002. Having prepared at Hotchkiss School, he was on the freshman crew at Princeton and a member of Colonial Club. He left at the end of sophomore year to attend New York University of Commerce.

Sam served in the Air Material Command during WWII; active in the Reserve, he resigned in 1951 as a lieutenant colonel. Happily married to Lillian Taylor and with a growing family, he moved to Rochester, N.Y., working for the investment counseling firm of Howe and Rusling as vice president and director. Sam also served the Princeton Club of Rochester as a board member, was chairman of AG, and a member of the schools and scholarship committee.

Raising Labrador retrievers, golfing, sailing, and travel were his outside interests. Sam lost his first wife to cancer in 1975; he remarried Shirley McCormick Mills, bringing into the family two more children. He is survived by a daughter, Frances Hubbard Schenck; two sons, Samuel Jr. and George; and his stepchildren, Rick Drake and Katherine Cody Jones. To them, his classmates extend their sincere condolences.
