Robert "Bob" Walter Hubbard Jr

August 2, 1961 - August 7, 2020

Robert W. “Bob” Hubbard, Jr was born August 2, 1961 in Omaha, Nebraska to Robert W. and Angela Carmen (Nigro) Hubbard. Bob grew up in Omaha, where he attended St. Joseph grade school, Pope Paul VI school, and graduated from Millard High School in 1979. Bob went on to attend the University of Nebraska in Omaha, where he studied Information Technology. Growing up, Bob was active with the Webelos, Cub Scouts, and the Explorers, took part in wrestling and baseball, was a regular at Skateland as both a session and competitive skater, and was interested in drawing, but from a young age, he developed a lifelong love for hunting and fishing. Bob married Linda Plambeck on November 23, 1984 at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Omaha, and to this union, a daughter was born, Madelyn. Bob and Linda made their home in Omaha, and Bob held various jobs through the years, working as a gas station attendant, a fiberglass fabricator, a 911 dispatcher, a dog trainer, and an independent Information Technology consultant. Bob was an IT leader at West Corporation, where he led multiple teams over his tenure. A work colleague said, “Bob worked with literally every group, IT and non-IT, at West during his 15 years and was always willing to help someone in need.” Bob was an avid fisherman, and enjoyed his time with the River City Bass Club. His dog training experience led him to different dog trial competitions, and he loved nothing more than to go hunting or fishing with family and friends. Bob flew model airplanes, and enjoyed playing tournament poker, tournament paintball, and various computer games. Bob’s favorite color was green, and he could often be found listening to music from Dean Martin, or watching the History Channel. He was a Husker football fan, and liked to indulge in a long johns doughnut; he hated to run out of the long john’s! If he wasn’t eating an entire box of Oreo’s or Chips Ahoy cookies in a bowl with milk (his favorite meal!), he would prefer a meal at Venice Inn or Mangia Italiana. Bob will be remembered as a kind, loyal, social man, who was a jokester, and loved to teach. Bob died at his home outside of Omaha on Friday, August 7, 2020 after a prolonged illness. He was preceded in death by his parents Robert Sr. and Angela Hubbard. Bob is survived by his wife Linda and daughter Madelyn of Omaha, siblings: Louise Ann & Les Peck of Nixa, MO, Dale & Sandra Bumgardner of Omaha, John & Michelle Hubbard of Papillion, Janet & Scott Washa of Phoenix, AZ, Steve & Sue Hubbard of Omaha, Lynn & Matt Huerta of Omaha, and Chris & Tom Millsap of Omaha, many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
