Ralph J. "Whitie" Hubert, Construction Executive and Vintner
Ralph J. "Whitie" Hubert, 83, founder and chairman of Gaithersburg, Maryland- based Hubert Construction, LLC and co-owner of Tarara Winery LLC, passed away at his home in Leesburg, Virginia on April 7, 2008. He had prostate cancer and Parkinson's disease.
Whitie was born in Avon Lake, Ohio in 1924 and was raised on a fruit farm that included a vineyard. He attended college at Bowling Green University before joining the Marines during War World II. Following his military service, during which he participated in several Pacific amphibious landings, he attended John Carroll University for a year before transferring to Catholic University, where he was a wrestling champion and the University football team quarterback. It was there that he received his nickname "Whitie" from a football coach who had trouble remembering his name and identified him by his light blond hair.
Between his junior and senior years of college, Whitie took a bicycle trip from Paris over the Alps to Rome. Returning to the U.S. in 1949, he met his future wife Margaret on the English Channel. He graduated Catholic University with an Architectural Engineering degree in 1950 and married Margaret in 1951 in Washington, D.C.
Whitie has been an icon in the Washington, D.C. area construction industry for over 40 years. With just $1,000 in start-up capital in 1959, following the birth of his fifth child, he founded Glen Construction Co. Inc. with then-partner Frank Darcey. In 1969, he bought out his partner and began building a reputation as one of the metropolitan area's largest contractors. For several years, Glen was included in Engineering News Record's list of the top 100 contractors in the nation.
By the 1980's, Glen was building over two million square feet of commercial space per year, including many of the area's landmark buildings such as the J.T.L. Tycon Towers office building in Tyson's Corner and the Radisson Mark Plaza in Alexandria. During this time, he served as President of the Metropolitan Washington Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) and was National President and Fellow of the American Institute of Constructors. In the late 1990's, Whitie reduced his involvement in Glen Construction and sold his interest to his son, Michael Hubert. In 1998, realizing that he missed working in the construction industry, Whitie founded Hubert Construction, LLC. In 2002, he won the DC Metropolitan Subcontractor's Association Pinnacle Award for lifetime achievement in the building and construction industry.
Whitie believed that working in the construction field was a 'great sport.' He was proud of the "Glen Graduates," many of whom who started their construction careers with him and went on to positions of industry leadership. They shared a camaraderie and set of ethics unique to the construction industry. Known for his energy, integrity, and intense type "A" personality, Whitie often would say after a heated exchange: "I'm not mad at you."
Like many World War II veterans, Whitie developed an interest in flying. He received his pilot's license and owned several airplanes, one of which met it's demise in a crash landing. Whitie managed to walk away from that crash and from multiple other moving vehicle incidents, some of which he left while the vehicles were on fire. Friends and family learned that it was better to be Whitie's driver than his passenger, even while riding in a golf cart.
In 1985, Whitie and his wife Margaret bought a 475-acre farm on the Potomac River in Loudoun County, Virginia and named it Tarara. There they built a home and winery, planting 50 acres of grapes, fruit trees, and nursery stock. They opened Tarara's tasting room in 1989. Whitie was actively involved with the Virginia Winerie's Association, encouraging state support of Virginia's nascent wine industry, which is now the nation's fifth largest.
Tarara Winery today is one of Virginia's most recognized destination wineries. It became Whitie's sandbox for an unending series of projects that precluded a slow-paced retirement. With Tarara, Whitie returned to his Ohio roots, living a life focused on family, farming, and growing grapes for wine.
Whitie is survived by his wife of 56 years, Margaret, five children: Karen Harvell of Atlanta, GA; Martha Hubert of San Francisco, CA; Steven Hubert of Bethesda, MD; Janet DuBois of Minneapolis, MN; and Michael Hubert of Gaithersburg, MD; and nine grandchildren: Andrea, Daniella, Casey, Jaime, Andrew, Melanie, Peter, Richard, and Erica. He was predeceased by his grandson Neil.

Cliff was born Nov. 4, 1920, in Berea, the youngest son of Frederick and Dorothy (Phillips) Berg. He grew up with a close family nearly all living on Fair Street in Berea. Cliff graduated from Berea High School; he worked his way through Baldwin Wallace College obtaining a degree in Math. Cliff and his brother Jack both served their country in World War II and Cliff loved to tell the story of running into his brother on a train bound for home in Louisville, Ky., as they both had leave at the same time and were able to surprise the family on Fair Street with a dual visit. After Service to his country, Cliff began his career at General Motors Corporation as an engineer and began setting down roots in Northeast Ohio. He met the love of his life, Caroline Hubert, as a part of a bowling league in 1950's, Cleveland. They were married soon after and began their life together. Cliff and Caroline raised their family in Huron, spending many years in Chaska Beach enjoying the best of Lake Erie. Through the years Cliff was active in his community serving on the Huron Zoning Board, working at the Food Bank and volunteering at McBride Arboretum. Upon retirement from GM's New Departure Hyatt facility, Sandusky, Cliff began his second career as an Ohio Snowbird. He and Caroline enjoyed many years of wintering in Venice, Fla., with many new 'campground' friends. As the years moved on, he took great pride in his grandchildren and kept tabs on their academic, military and professional accomplishments. He relished his time with all the family at the beach house in Chaska and helped with the 4th of July festivities as long as he was able. It was also in Berea where he began his lifelong love of golf starting as a caddy when he was only 8.
