Raymond L. Huber, nearly 95, of South Whitehall Township, died Sept. 7, 2015. He was the husband of Kimberley Stanley and the late Grace Amanda (Siegfried) Huber for more than 57 years. Born in Upper Saucon Township, he was the son of the late William and Florence (Stein) Huber.

As a child he got out of washing dishes by learning how to milk cows on the family’s 100-acre “Hissin’ Goose Farm” on Brookside Road in Lower Macungie Township. When he finished his education at the one-room Kiechel’s School on Lower Macungie Road, he worked on the farm with his Pop until his uncle sold the land in the early 1960s. He then went to work for Chapmans Agway in the John Deere department, retiring in 1983.

He joined the Macungie Grange as a teenager and continued for more than 60 years, serving in various positions of leadership. He also was involved in the local 4-H from his youth, the highlight of which was raising a half-ton Angus steer that was crowned Grand Champion at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show in 1940.

He was a member and served at Grace Lutheran Church his whole life, including many years as treasurer and church council president. From 1959 to 1970, he was active in Lehigh County soil and water conservation efforts, during that time serving as president of the state association and youth chairman of the national association, and hosting “Conservation Corner,” a monthly show broadcast on local television. He worked for years as superintendent of Agricultural Hall at The Great Allentown Fair.

He spoke his first language, Pennsylvania Dutch, as a lifelong member and officer of Grundsow Lodge No. 1 On Da Lechaw (“On the Lehigh”) in Allentown, and presided over the Lower Macungie Township Seniors and the Lower Lehigh Lions Club of Macungie, as well as volunteering for the Lower Macungie Township Fire Police. He was a supporting member of the Macungie and Lower Macungie Township historical societies.

He drove a school bus for the East Penn School District and clocked more than 2,000 volunteer hours delivering Meals on Wheels. In his spare time he was a square dance caller and also taught local clubs, churches and granges how to square dance. He played pinochle with the same group of friends for decades.

He and his late wife enjoyed extensive travel throughout the country with family and friends.

In 2004, he became the first tenant to move into Brookview Independent Living apartments, the former A wing of Cedarbrook Nursing Home where he met his current wife. Together they shared their joys of planting flowers on the grounds of Cedarbrook.

He is survived by his wife; daughters, Carol and Peggy; three grandsons, Donald and his wife Anne (Baldwin) Oesterbo, of Wilmington, N.C.; Gregory Oesterbo, of Elkton, Md. and Michael and his wife Trisha (Oliver) Streicher, of Breckinridge, Colo.; great-granddaughter, Clara June Streicher; numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his first wife Grace; brothers, Wilbur, Clarence and LeRoy; sister, Joyce and son-in-law, Donald “Ozzie” Oesterbo.

Donations to honor his life may be made to Grace Lutheran Church, Macungie.

Arrangements were made by the Schmoyer Funeral Home Breinigsville.
