FOSTORIA — John Charles Huber, 75, of Fostoria, died peacefully at his home on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026.

A lifelong Fostoria man, Huber was born in the city in November 1950. He served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War era and was stationed in Germany. Back home, he worked 30 years at Atlas Crankshaft and also owned and operated Buck’s Construction for several years.
