William Venable Hubbard

William Venable “Bill” Hubbard, Jr. Mr. William Venable “Bill” Hubbard, Jr. of Newnan, Georgia passed away Sunday, July 12, 2015. He was born in Danville, Virginia on November 15, 1943, the son of the late William Venable Hubbard, Sr. and Thelma Kegley Hubbard. He graduated from DuPont High School in Jacksonville, Florida and attended North Georgia Military College. Bill was a veteran of the Army Reserves. After owning and operating a construction firm in Tallahassee for many years, Bill moved into catastrophe insurance adjusting. In 2005, he acquired Mobile-based United Storm Adjusters, Inc. and built the company into one of the premier catastrophic and daily property insurance adjusting businesses in the United States. The firm enjoys a reputation of professionalism and integrity, guided by Bill’s motto to “Strive for Perfection.” Bill will be greatly missed by his employees, colleagues, and friends in the business and throughout the industry. Bill was quite the sports enthusiast. He combined his passion for sports with his love of children as he coached little league baseball off and on for over 20 years. His favorite time of year was fall as he loved cheering on his Florida Gator football team. Bill was a strong Christian and his church family meant so much to him. He was a member of Fellowship Presbyterian Church in Tallahassee, Florida before joining Newnan Presbyterian Church. Over the past few years, he cherished the time spent planning and attending the Newnan Presbyterian Men’s Fellowship dinners. A perfect venue for his many stories and jokes! Bill’s legacy will be remembered for many years to come as a result of the establishment in 2011 of the Bill and Linda Hubbard Endowment Fund at Newnan Presbyterian. His life was built around his devotion to his wife, children, and grand-children. Bill and Linda would have celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on July 31st. He was most proud of his grandchildren’s accomplishments and enjoyed sharing the details with all. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him and most of all by the family he left behind. Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Linda Speed Hubbard; children - daughter Kim Wise (Winn); son Tripp Hubbard (Kelly); grandchildren Maggie and Preston Wise, Molly and Kegley Hubbard, sister Cookie Darnell (Franklin), and nephew Chip Darnell.
