Fair Winds and Following Seas
Our father, Lane Robert Hubbard — “Captain Hubb” — passed away unexpectedly on August 1, 2025.
He leaves behind the love of his life, his six children, their spouses, and seven grandchildren. He is also survived by his identical twin brother, little sister, and many nieces and nephews.
My Daddy was a loving, charismatic giant of a man who made friends everywhere he went. His warmth, humor, and kindness touched countless lives. He leaves behind many friends and family who love him deeply and will miss him forever.
Dad was born on June 7, 1956, in Baltimore, Maryland, alongside his identical twin, Lewis Roland. He was raised by Lewis Roland Hubbard and Margaret Elaine Hubbard (Yealdhall) in Locust Point, where he grew up in the church at Our Lady of Good Counsel. It’s where he discovered his love of soccer, honed his skills as a pool player, and grew his affection for big ships.
At a young age, Dad started working at the Port of Baltimore on the Banana Piers. He became a proud union member, following in the footsteps of his grandfather—one of the “Golden Five Charter Founders” of the Checkers Union, Local 953. Dad carried his union card with pride and eventually passed it down to his daughter, sons, and daughter-in-law—making it a fourth-generation legacy.
He was proud to work alongside his brother, father, uncle, cousins, father-in-law, son-in-law, lifelong friends, and three of his children. After 45 years of long days at the docks, he retired to enjoy time with the greatest love of his life, “his girl,” Sandy.
Dad fell in love with Sandy in 1996, and from the moment they met, she became his whole world. She had two sons and he had four kids of his own—but he loved all of us as one family. On September 2, 2000, Dad married Sandy, and they began building a beautiful life together. They eventually bought their dream home by the Bay in Podickory Point, Annapolis—a home filled with treasured memories, laughter, and love. There, Dad met some of his dearest friends sitting on the shores of the yacht club.
Dad loved his family deeply—his children, grandchildren, and even his grand-dogs. He never missed a chance to be with them—eating donuts, swimming, boating, fishing, playing at the club, or feeding the horses. He loved the chaos and joy of having everyone together.
A licensed 100-ton Captain, Dad received his first boat at age 7; a Bicycle Boat gifted by Uncle Louie. He loved nothing more than being on the water with the people he loved.
Dad’s happy place was his Ocean City condo, especially sitting with Sandy, watching the sunset. He was always ready for company, with food and drinks in hand and music playing by the pool. Everyone was welcome.
He was a longtime member of the Traffic Club of Baltimore and served as President of his Ocean City condo board and was a member of the Yacht Club in Annapolis. He played and coached soccer, and led Boy Scouts. Dad was the strongest man we’ve ever known. He loved big. He worked hard. And he made sure everyone around him felt like family.
We will miss him forever, but we will carry his love with us always.
Fair Winds and Following Seas, Daddy.
