He was born in Kellyville Sept. 14, 1917, to H. Bruce Hueston and Viola (Maples) Hueston. He married Grace M. Reece June 3, 1938, in Stillwater.

He attended grade school in Kellyville before moving to Cushing and then later to Stillwater. For eight years, he sponsored and coached a little league baseball team and enjoyed working with young kids. Among his other joys were traveling with his wife, watching Oklahoma State University sports and working in his yard. He liked to landscape, grow roses and at his home, in Stillwater, he had a bird sanctuary. After moving to Golden Oaks with his wife, he set a bird feeder outside their window so he could sit in his chair and watch the birds play and eat.

Keefer of Lubbock, Texas and Holly L. Hueston of Charlottesville, Va.; four great-grandchildren; one brother, Harry Bernard Hueston of Richmond, Va. and one sister, Fern Stewart of Fairview.
