Aloysius was born on October 7, 1938 in Huron County to Aloysius and Lucy (Smaglinski) Kubacki. He married JoAnn Duda on August 21, 1965, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Bad Axe, MI. He attended Kelly School - Bingham No.1, graduated from the 8th grade, and worked diligently on the family farm. For 24 years, he served as a skilled mechanic at Ubly Ford Tractor Sales, and worked at Gemini Plastics for 22 years. He continued farming until he fully retired in 2021. He was a member of St. John's Catholic Church (Good Shepherd Parish) of Ubly. He was a proud family man and a testament to the enduring power of love, faith, and family. He had great patience, a kind heart, and was a natural storyteller. Through the years you could find him gliding across the dance floor with his wife, JoAnn of nearly 60 years to his favorite Polish music. He was still tapping his foot to those favorite tunes until the end. To sign the online guestbook, visit www.cremationsocietymidmi.com  Arrangements made with the Cremation Society of Mid Michigan.
