"A leader of our Alaska pipeline community has passed away.  Jerry Hubbard, President and CEO of Energistics, died January 1 in Houston while recovering from cancer surgery.  Jerry and his wife Retha, who had two daughters and two grandchildren, moved to Fairbanks in 1971 to attend the University of Alaska.  Jerry's career included the TAPS line, the original ANGTS gasline, and numerous infrastructure and project management responsibilities over the course of his successful career.  Many of us were fortunate to know him and will miss him greatly."
