Dub Rose

1947–  December 20, 2020

Dub Rose was born in San Antonio, the second of four boys. He called Austin home for 34 years before retiring to Dale, TX with his high school sweetheart Donna.

He served under many titles throughout his career, including "Deputy Dub", head of security at the Armadillo World Headquarters, Carpentry Foreman and Director of Physical Plant Services for Austin Community College, and as Head Grouch in the neck building department for Collings Guitars. 

Dub was a craftsman, following in the footsteps of his grandfather R J Clancy. He was a master carpenter, builder, and painter of hot rods, motorcycles, and guitars, part-time cattleman, and collector of antique machinery and Gulf Oil memorabilia. 

He was a loving father and grandfather, friend and mentor to his two sons and grandson. He enjoyed the outdoors and central Texas wildlife, as well as the pets and livestock he raised with his family. 

His stories, wisdom, wit, and laughter will forever warm the hearts of friends and loved ones.
