Roy O Huebner

Roy O. Huebner passed away on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2016 in his home unexpectedly. He was 90. He was born on July 11, 1926 in Toledo to Roy, Sr. and Lucille Huebner and grew up in the old south end of Toledo. A 1944 graduate of Libbey High School, Roy studied Civil Engineering at the University of Toledo. He was a proud World War II Army veteran having served in the Pacific Theater. On July 9, 1949 Roy married Virginia “Ginny” Stevens. Ginny preceded him in death on June 4, 2014. Together they had two sons, Steven and Robert. Robert preceded him in death on January 16, 2011. Roy was a wonderful husband , father, grandfather and a true man of integrity with a career that spanned 45 years in the transportation business. He was the Terminal Manager at Norwalk Trucklines and then the Operations Manager at Central Transport until his retirement in 1988. After retirement, Roy and Ginny moved to Coldwater Lake, Michigan before returning to Toledo in 1995. Looking back, Roy loved the fact that he had enjoyed a long and fulfilling retirement and being able to spend time with his family and friends. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Toledo and was a great story teller of his life growing up in the old south end of Toledo. An avid boater, he loved any time he could spend on the water and many of his favorite times were days fishing Lake Erie with family and friends. Ginny and Roy also both took great pride in their yard and garden, keeping an immaculate home. Surviving are his son Steven (Eileen), daughter in law Renee Huebner, six grandchildren: Lisa (Aaron) Grizaniuk, Andrea (Chris) Hirsch, Allison Huebner, Rachael (Eric) Gettys, Jeremy (Austin Nicole) Huebner and Jacob Huebner; and Eight great-grandchildren. A private memorial service celebrating Roy’s life will be held at a later date. Those wishing to offer memorials are asked to consider the Toledo Area Humane Society.
