Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Hubert Vicars, a.k.a. 'Husband,' died July 25, 2011 in CMQ Premier of a massive heart attack spurred by complications from pneumonia. He and Polly had just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in Las Vegas with 16 friends and family on July 4. He turned 83 on July 16.

Hubert was a graduate engineer from the University of Kentucky and was president of his own Engineering Consulting Firm, Central Associated Engineers, in Versailles, Kentucky. He was an authority on Catenary Curves in the electric transmission industry and wrote the definitive book on the subject.

He was active in many community services since retiring to Puerto Vallarta in August of 1988, but his primary passion was Becas Vallarta, A.C./The America-Mexico Foundation, Inc.

There will be no service and expressions of condolence should be in the form of donations to Becas Vallarta, A.C. or the America-Mexico Foundation, Inc.
