Hurban was a hard worker and good provider for his family, which he loved dearly. His quiet demeanor and dry sense of humor kept people guessing. He had the rare combination of being frugal but generous. When asked how he was, his reply was always, "Perfect!", which invariably brought on a smile. In earlier years he enjoyed hunting and fishing. He also loved to travel.
