James S. Culbert

James S. Culbert, 66, of Manchester, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully of natural causes on April 22, 2026, at his home.

Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, he was the son of the late Francis Patrick Culbert and Florette Poirier Culbert. He was a proud graduate of Lowell High School, Class of 1978. Jim spent many years working as a manufacturing line supervisor at Rockwell Automation in Manchester, NH, where he was respected for his leadership and dedication.

Jim battled stroke and heart disease for many years with quiet strength and resilience. Despite these challenges, he rarely complained and never burdened others.
He was an avid sports fan who loved all Boston teams, especially the Boston Red Sox. Jim enjoyed the outdoors and found happiness in activities such as hunting, fishing, golf, and horseshoes. He especially cherished time spent with his children and grandchildren on weekends, sharing stories and laughter with friends, helping out at his friend’s garage, and relaxing at home watching movies with his beloved cat, Buddy.

Jim will be remembered as a man with a big heart who always saw the goodness in others. He instinctively put others first, and his warm smile—often accompanied by a twinkle in his eye—could brighten anyone’s day. With a sharp mind and a gift for conversation, he could connect with people from all walks of life.

He was a member of the Sons of the American Legion, several social clubs, and the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

Jim is survived by his loving children, Michael P. Culbert of Bedford, NH and Kathline F. Culbert of Manchester, NH; his cherished grandchildren, Nathan, Zachary, and Katelina; his sister, Dawn Marie Castner of China Village, ME; and his brothers, John Culbert of Dracut, MA, Timothy Culbert Sr. of Winthrop, ME, and Joseph Culbert of Lowell, MA. He was predeceased by his brother, Patrick Culbert of Pelham, NH. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
Jim was a humble man who touched many lives and will be missed deeply.

Family and friends are invited to his calling hours on Friday, May, 1 2026, from 4 until 8 p.m. at the MAHONEY FUNERAL HOME, 187 Nesmith Street, 978-452-6361.

Ronald B. Polubinski

Ronald B. Polubinski, 82, a lifelong resident of Lowell, Massachusetts, passed away on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, after a long illness. He was the beloved husband of Gail (Armstrong) Polubinski, with whom he shared over 50 years of marriage.

Born on May 28, 1943, in Lowell, he was the son of the late Anthony and Helen (Povlionus) Polubinski. Ron was raised and educated in Lowell and graduated from Lowell Trade School. He proudly enlisted in the United States Navy, serving as a communications technician during the Vietnam War. After his honorable discharge, he returned home to Lowell.

Ron began his career at Western Electric as a detail draftsman, where he met the love of his life, Gail. The couple soon married and built a life and family together. He later continued his professional career at Wang Laboratories and other local tech companies until his retirement.

A devoted family man, Ron cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. He possessed a deep appreciation for art and was a talented artist, particularly skilled in drawing. He also had a strong passion for history, especially World War II, and a lifelong love of cats, with a particular admiration for lions. One of the great highlights of his life was a memorable trip to Africa, where he observed lions in their natural habitat. He found great peace by the seashore, where the sound and presence of the ocean brought him comfort and solace.

In addition to his wife, Gail, of Lowell, he is survived by his son, Christopher Polubinski and his wife Randee, also of Lowell; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Gayton and Kelly Armstrong of Hudson, New Hampshire; as well as several nieces and nephews.
