Bub was born on October 27, 1922 in Paynesville, Minnesota to the late Raymond and Mathilda (Lenner) Hartmann. He was a World War II Veteran serving in the Philippines. He married Victoria B. Lieser on June 26, 1951 at St. Louis Catholic Church. He took on the family Hartmann Ice Company in Paynesville, cutting ice off Lake Koronis and later sold ice cubes made by machines. Bub was also a truck driver, farmer and worked road maintenance. He plowed snow for the Paynesville area for over 50 years. He worked with his brother Jim in partnership for many years. Bub was also a volunteer fireman for over 30 years, serving as Fire Chief for 13 of those years. He was instrumental in getting mutual aid agreements with area townships and cities which enabled Paynesville to purchase one of the first large fire trucks in outstate Minnesota. Bub served on the Public Works Street Committee for many years, was a lifetime member of St. Louis Parish, Knights of Columbus Council #3820 and the former Paynesville Veterans of Foreign Wars.
He loved watching sports, hunting, fishing and the outdoors.

Vicky and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy during this sad time. Wish we could be there to lend you our support, but we are now living in Michigan where I am stationed. I will always have fond memories of spending much of my childhood at the big garage, building farm, down below, going to coffee at The Black Saucer and where ever else with Bub and Jim learning everything from cutting wood, hunting deer, combining, driving and how to work on cars and trucks. I will be forever indebted to both of them for all they taught me as it all had a tremendous impact on the person I am today. I salute you, Bub, and hope to meet you again one day.
