He bore adversity bravely and enjoyed prosperity quietly. His home was his realm and he was a devout husband and loving father, who had a warm heart for his children and grandchildren.

"He then became identified with a company engaged in merchandising in Sainte Genevieve and remained in active association with the business, for some years. At length he sold his interest to his partners and was appointed by Governor Hadley to the office of probate judge of Sainte Genevieve County in 1909 to fill out an unexpired term. Later he was elected and has since acted in that capacity, making an excellent record in office. He owns considerable business and residence property, is treasurer of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company and is otherwise actively connected with public interests in Sainte Genevieve. He had a daughter, Catherine who also preceded him in death.

Judge Huck and his family are members of the Catholic Church and he is well known in various societies, holding membership with the Knights of Columbus, the Modern Woodmen of America and the Grand Army of the Republic, serving at the present time as commander of the local post. His political allegiance has always been given to the Republican Party.
