Huber, G. Vernon age 83, passed away on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, at N.C. Little Hospice, in Edina, Minnesota. He was born on February 17, 1933 in Wilmington Delaware, to the late Clifford Huber and Elizabeth Vernon Huber. Vern met his wife, Jeanette Dugan, at Wilmington High School, where he served as President of the senior class of 1950, and she as senior class Vice-President. They had been married for 61 years at the time of Jeanette's passing, on July 2, 2015. Vern participated in the ROTC program while at the University of Delaware, graduated in 1954 with a B.S. degree in accounting, and was hired by the Du Pont Company, in what was then the Accounting Division of the Treasurer's Department. After two years of service with the United States Army, he returned to the Accounting Division, and went on to enjoy a 35 year career with Du Pont, serving in many different roles, all in accounting and finance. Vern and Jeanette lived in Wilmington, Delaware, until 1986, when the Du Pont Company transferred Vern to Holland, as the Director of Finance of Philips & Du Pont Optical Company, a newly formed joint venture. And in September 1988, Vern was transferred once again, this time to London, England, as European Audit Manager of Du Pont's Conoco subsidiary, where they lived until Vern retired in 1992. Vern and Jeanette were preceded in death by their son, Larry, in 1991. In 1992, Vern and Jeanette retired to Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland, where they made their home for the next 23 years. In December 2015, Vern returned to the U.S., and Brookdale Edina at Edinborough Park, in order to be closer to his son Ken and his family. While living in Europe, Vern and Jeanette took the opportunity to travel, often with Ken and his family, and they enjoyed introducing their granddaughters to the European capital cities and their culture. Vern and Jeanette loved the vibrant seaside town of Kinsale, Ireland, and the people there. They developed deep ties to the community, making many close friends and taking full advantage of the wide array of social and cultural activities. Vern was active with the "Mashie Niblicks" golfing group, and he enjoyed working with his friend and neighbor, Stanley, to repair and maintain Stanley's two large wooden boats. For a number of years, Vern and Jeanette would leave Ireland during the wintertime, and take up residence at Symphony Place Apartments, in downtown Minneapolis, to be closer to family. Vern could often be spotted at lunch time at Peter's Grill always ending with a slice of their famous apple pie. Although Vern had spent his entire career as a numbers cruncher, retirement was his opportunity to indulge his affinity for words, and he relished a good crossword puzzle the tougher the better. He was a volunteer with the Adult Literacy project in Kinsale. He worked as an anonymous restaurant critic (with Jeanette, of course) on behalf of the Kinsale "Good Food Circle". He was a member of the "Kinsale Discussion Group". He was an editor for a recent book on the history of the golf courses in Kinsale, and for the many op-ed letters and articles written by Jeanette. Vern will be remembered by many in both the U.S. and Ireland, for his kindness, his patience, his quick wit, and as a faithful friend and family man. Vern is survived by his son, Ken and daughter-in-law, Donna Huber, of Minneapolis, granddaughters Emily Huber, of Boston, and Claire Huber, of Tacoma, and sister Nancy Heck, of Wilmington, Delaware. Special thanks go out to the nurses and staff at the N.C. Little Hospice, for their loving care.
