OBITUARY
Peter Floyd Hubble, 1930-December 2012
IN work and play, Peter Hubble was known as a driving force in the Noble Park community.
Maryborough-born Mr Hubble and his wife Wilma lived in Green Street for many years, with their children, Robin and Leanne.
In their retirement years, the couple moved to Mildura, where he died on December 5 after a long illness.
Mr Hubble was a force in the plumbing industry, arranging the connection and inspection of properties to the sewerage scheme throughout Springvale and Noble Park between 1959 and 1984.
The scheme was instrumental in the development of housing and industry at a local level and would have been a long time coming if it had depended on waiting for the expansion of the metropolitan system.
Mr Hubble was the senior plumbing inspector and technical supervisor at the Springvale Noble Park Sewerage Authority for more than 20 years, then later on, trade waste supervisor at the newly merged Dandenong Springvale Water Board in Hammond Road, Dandenong.
He was also president of the Plumbing Inspectors Association of Victoria in 1980 and was highly respected in the local district not only by his peers, councillors and board members but also the many residents he assisted.
Mr Hubble also contributed to youth and sport through his involvement with the Noble Park Football Club.
He was instrumental in the formation of its social club and gave the club his time and energy to make it a great success.
Apart from his immediate family and six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, he will be sadly missed by friends and colleagues.
