He was born on May 12, 1941 in Iowa City, IA to the late Robert Jackson Tubbs and Esther L. Cook.
JC is a graduate of Corydon High School in Iowa. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy and proudly served his country for four years, until his honorable discharge in September 1964. During his service, he earned the Good Conduct Medal.
The Navy may have brought JC to St. Mary s County from Iowa, but a little redhead named Shirley Louden kept him here. While stationed at Patuxent River, he met Shirley through her sister s boyfriend and was smitten. He ended up spending the rest of his life here with her. They started and raised their family here and he continued his career as a civil servant until he retired in 1996. He worked for many years after his official retirement, first for McKay s Food Stores and then Walmart for 16 years.
