Arthur C. Lubbert
April 10, 2013
Arthur C. Lubbert, 55, passed away Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at Mercy Medical Center.
Arthur was born May 12, 1957 in Des Moines and graduated from Hoover High School in 1975. He attended Drake University and graduated from UNI in 1980. Arthur had been a bus driver for Des Moines Public Schools since 2005 and previously did simulcasting at Prairie Meadows during race season. Prior to that, he worked for KDSM for 17 years and for IRIS.
Arthur was a wonderful son and called his mother everyday. He enjoyed boating, game night, diverse music and driving fast. He loved socializing and Sunday nights at B-Bops to get his $1 burger and chocolate shake. Arthur was a firm believer in “coupon clipping” and had a very dry sense of humor. He was an avid Hawkeye fan.
Those left to cherish his memory are his loving spouse, Marty Murray-Lubbert; mother, Margaret Lubbert; and a host of extended relatives and beloved friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Arthur Lubbert.
The family wishes to extend their appreciation to Dr. Dan Buroker and his staff at John Stoddard Cancer Center.
The family will greet friends from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday, April 14, 2013 at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon St.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family.

I worked with Art at McDonald's in the 70's. We laughed through many a rush hour working side-by-side in the grill area. Art was a key part of that select group which made working at 3610 so much fun!
My deepest sympathy to Art's family and friends!
Thanks for all the good times, Arthur!
