![]() Stephanie Pantoja, Staff Reporter On November 2, 2015, Hubbard substitute teacher, Mr. Martin A. Gavin, passed away from a heart attack at the age of 65. He was happily married and had two sons, one daughter, as well as a grandson. Mr. Gavin was a Chicago detective before he started working as a substitute. He was a substitute teacher for approximately 8 years, 5 of them here in Hubbard, and taught at other schools such as Hancock and Gage Park. Mr. Steven Biegel, English teacher, got to know Mr.Gavin throughout his years working here. They often spoke while having lunch together. “He was very friendly, I met him in the lunchroom. He was very open, and he loved to talk,” he said. Administrative assistant, Ms. Marta Diaz worked closely with Mr. Gavin and spoke to him the night before he passed away. “He was the sweetest person ever,” she said. “He loved coming to sub at Hubbard. I still can’t believe it. Tell those you love that you love them, don't wait before it too late.” This had an impact on everyone who's known him. Hubbard students and staff who knew him will always remember Mr. Gavin and appreciate the time he shared with us. We offer our deepest condolences to his family.
