Charles Huber Obituary
Charles Edward Huber, who passed away on September 13, 2023, at the age of 88, was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, companion, and friend.
Chuck's proudest accomplishments were his family and his career. He was married to his beloved wife Lillian for 60 years, and they raised three children together. He loved his eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren dearly and cherished every moment he spent with them.
Chuck was a pilot through and through, and he loved flying far and wide. He was proud to say he was certified to fly anything in the sky except for a balloon. He was a skilled and experienced aviator who was always willing to share his knowledge and experiences with others. Inside the cockpit as an instructor, his patience and deep love of flying were readily apparent to all his students.
In addition to his family and career, Chuck was also a lifelong Catholic. He was an active member for many years of the parishes and men's groups of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, St. Peter Chanel in Roswell, Georgia, and St. Brendan's in Cumming, Georgia. As a daily participant in the Mass, he could "smell" a church in any city around the world as he traveled.
Chuck was a kind and compassionate man who always had a smile and a question for those he met. It was often said that he "never met a stranger." He was curious about everyone and everything around him and loved learning new things. Freedom was at his core; he cherished any adventure over the horizon to see what was there. He was an inspiration to all who knew him.
Chuck's legacy is one of unconditional love, compassion, and curiosity. He always saw the best in people and encouraged them to reach their full potential. He believed that God is love and encouraged others to believe in the possibility of the infinite.
His family and friends will deeply miss Chuck and his legacy will be celebrated in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
A mass will be celebrated in his memory on Saturday, October 14, 2023, at 10 am Eastern at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church at 535 Rucker Rd. Alpharetta, GA 30004. Following Mass will be an open house at his home beginning at noon and going on through late evening. Please join us at 14840 Birmingham Highway in Milton to celebrate his life with good stories, food, drinks, and friends.
