Former Trustee John Huebner (1934-2008)

Yesterday the village lost a wonderful public servant John Huebner who was a life long resident of Round Lake, and who served as a Village trustee for 16 years, retiring in 2003. John passed away yesterday after a long struggle with cancer.

John was a village trustee when I was elected and I served with him for two years until he retired, I always valued him for his insight, opinions and his support. He had a passion for water issues and was always a useful person to consult on the history of why something was done that way versus another way when it came to engineering or public works.

Trustee Dale Multerer and I had been visiting him at the hospital for the last few weeks and his sense of humor and command of the facts were there right to the end. John will be missed by all of the village.
