1971 Westminster High School graduate John Huber, 70, died August 23, 2023


1971 Westminster High School graduate John Huber, 70, died August 23, 2023

 Obituary for John W. Huber Jr. April 22, 1953 - August 23, 2023

 John W. Huber, Jr., age 70 of Milton, DE, passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer, on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, at Delaware Hospice Center. He was born on April 22, 1953, in Olney, MD, son of Eleanor Huber of Westminster, MD and the late John W. Huber, Sr.

 John graduated from Westminster High School, Class of 1971. He was a brick and stone mason by trade and dedicated many years to his career. An avid outdoorsman, John loved to hunt and fish. His green thumb was evidenced by his beautiful gardens and meticulously kept yard. John had a true passion for studying Civil War history and spent many years participating in several reenactments. He was a talented artist who was always sketching, and one could always find his drawings laying around, left like surprise gifts. He was a lover of all animals and truly enjoyed the many creatures in his care. John had an incomparable sense of humor; he relished playing jokes and pranks and had a way of teasing that was always good natured. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, Daddy John, and friend who will live on forever in our hearts and memories.

 John was preceded in death by his father, John W. Huber, Sr.; and his brother, Walter Huber. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Barbara Marsh Huber of Milton, DE; his children: Zachary Ward (Lisa) of Manchester, MD, and Lauren Shahan (Lee) of Hartly, DE; his stepchildren: Billy Hocker (Annie) of Rehoboth Beach, DE and Beth Wright (Jevon) of Gainesville, VA; his grandchildren: Kylie, Jaxson, Will, Jaylen, and Jace; his sister, Pamela Huber Schaeffer (Noah) of Westminster, MD; his brother, Bruce Huber (Teresa) of Westminster, MD; his niece, Heather; and many other nieces, nephews, extended family, and close friends.

 A visitation will be held on Friday, September 8, 2023, from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM, at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, DE.

 In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to Delaware Hospice, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19963.

Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant, 205 Frederick Rd, Thurmont, MD






The restaurant is well lit and fun - nicely decorated and obviously well-maintained. The folks that work there obviously  like the restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The food was great with great prices, and a large parking lot – right off Rte 15. We look forward to returning soon.

Earlier Caroline had played in a Westminster Municipal Band concert in the Thurmont Memorial Park, just off 116 East Main Street, Thurmont, MD 21788, at the Thurmont Trolley Park. The band concert was great – and enjoyed by many folks from around town who came out on a beautiful Sunday evening to enjoy the music.

We really liked the 1.3-acre park. It was well maintained and picturesque. It is obvious that Thurmont loves the park – and that folks enjoy it. The park comes complete with a bubbling stream that runs through the park – not far from a memorial pavilion that honors local folks who have served in the military and fought in a nation’s wars to maintain the freedoms and quality of life we enjoy. It was a great evening, and we look forward to returning to Thurmont.

The Thurmont Trolley Park. We were intrigued about the Trolley Trail Park. According to the Thurmont website, “The Thurmont Trolley Trail is a .8 mile trail installed over the former trolley tracks that serviced Thurmont in the 1900’s.

 “The Town of Thurmont also acquired and displays one of the trolley cars that was once utilized in Thurmont’s history. The building that was once used to house all the electrical components that operated the trolley sits at the beginning of the trail on East Main Street. 

 “The Town of Thurmont and the Thurmont Lions Club has installed murals on the building depicting the history of Thurmont...

 “From 1908 to 1954, Thurmont was the "end of the line" for the trolley system that traveled from Frederick to Thurmont. During its hay day in the 1920's, the Hagerstown and Frederick Railway (H &F) carried 3.8 million people per year.

 “However, with great strides in the world of transportation, the demands for the trolley dwindled and the H&F made its final trip to Thurmont in 1954 and the tracks were removed. The existing trail begins at the historical trolley car and promotes a glimpse at Thurmont’s historical transportation services. Today, the trail is heavily used by residents and visitors for hiking, jogging, biking, and enjoying nature.”

 It was a great evening, and we look forward to returning to Thurmont. https://goo.gl/maps/o1SsDQQoxCfWduqf9

Kevin Earl Dayhoff - Westminster Fire Department 24July2023
  · 
Update 11:30 p.m. - 12 hours into the incident. No decision has been made as to when the eastbound lanes of Rte 140 can be reopened. Work continues on the repairs to the 6-inch gas line that was damaged by a highway guardrail contractor at Rte 140 and Littlestown Pike at the west end of Westminster. 

Earlier in the day about 50 BGE employees and 20 pieces of BGE emergency response pieces of equipment, in addition to a large response by the Maryland Department of Transportation. 

Hours and hours of work must be completed on the damaged pipe before enough information is available in order to make a decision as to when the roadway eastbound can be reopened. 

Weighing heavily in the decision process are the recent number of workers killed and injured while working on roadways. Sadly today, there were a number of incidents reported of drivers traveling at high rates of speed near first responders at the staging areas.

Please continue to avoid the area. Please drive safely. We want everyone to come home to their families when the emergency operations have been completed. 

Update 7:45 p.m. 24Jy2023 Westbound traffic on Rte 140 has just been reopened. However eastbound traffic on Rte 140 will be closed for many more hours.

The Westminster Fire Department responded. WFD Capt. Corey Milewski assumed command. Upon arrival preliminary information indicates that a contracting crew was on scene installing guard rails when a gas line was struck.
