George Arthur Hubert III
George Arthur Hubert III was born June
29, 1933 in Houston, Texas and left this Earth on January 12, 2015
at his home at the age of 81 years, 6 months, and 14 days. George,
or as he was called, Buddy, was second of five children born to
George and Helen Hubert. He was raised in the Almeda Genoa Telephone
Road area and went to Milby High School. Buddy joined the U.S. Navy
like his uncle Virgil serving on The USS Vulcan for 3 years, 1
month, and 27 days. After being discharged from the Navy, he
returned to work as a boilmaker, later working side-by-side with his
father in the valve repair business. Soon, Major Enterprise was born
and so the story goes; lots of lifelong friends were made. He worked
up until his passing. |

William Hugo Hubert, age 86, entered into eternal rest on January 18, 2026, fortified by the Sacraments of the Holy Church and surrounded by his loving family.
At the age of 19, Bill joined the U.S. Army and served for four years as paymaster. It was while stationed abroad in Munich, Germany that Bill met the love of his life, Maria Gerstner. The two met at Hofbrauhaus and the rest was history. William and Maria, or as they would come to be known for many years,, Bill and Mary, were married at St. Benedict Catholic Church in Munich on July 27, 1961. While living in Munich, Bill and Mary welcomed their first child and only son. At the end of 1962 they relocated from Germany to the U.S., settling in Bill’s hometown of Houston. He made it a priority for his wife to visit her family in Germany as often as possible from there on out. Bill and Mary welcomed two more children, both daughters.
Music was one of Bill’s greatest earthly joys. There were few things he enjoyed more than the clever humor and timeless melodies of Gilbert & Sullivan. An avid supporter of the Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Houston, Bill was at every show and every dress rehearsal. As he did anywhere he went, he built strong relationships with those at G & S. Even if someone at a show didn’t know him by name, they would know him as the gentleman that started off every round of applause with a resounding, "Bravo!" He shared his love of Gilbert & Sullivan with his wife, children, and grandchildren, who loved going with him from early childhood well into adulthood.
Another joy of life was his faith. In 2002, Bill was initiated into the Catholic Church. He loved taking his parish priests out to eat as often as possible, a sign of his support and respect for their vocations. He also loved attending Mass at St. Mary’s Basilica in Galveston and he especially loved singing the hymns at church. In 2011, Bill and Mary renewed their vows on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Houston, with Cardinal Daniel Dinardo presiding.
Over the years, Bill and Mary called many places home. Whether it was Munich or Sugar Land or Boerne or Galveston, they lived somewhere where they could enjoy the view. He will forever be remembered as a loving husband, dad, brother, uncle, grandpa, and Opa. His children and grandchildren made him so proud and he made sure they knew it. He is preceded in death by his parents, George Arthur Hubert II and Helen Thelma Tuley Hubert, his sisters Barbara Hazelip, Clara Haney, and Helen (Leroy) Lutz, his brother, George (Marty) Hubert III, affectionately known as “Buddy,” and his grandson-in-law, Ryan Scott Phaneuf.
