Visitation with the family is Sunday from 3 to 9 p.m. at Becker Funeral Home in Westwood.

A committal service is Tuesday at 11:45 a.m. at George Washington Memorial Park, 234 Paramus Road, Paramus.

Lubben went to River Dell Regional High School and owned Golden Meat and Provisions.

Lubben was well-known in town. He was a "jokester," and would pull pranks on people when he delivered them meat, NorthJersey.com reported.

"He was the funniest guy I ever met in my life," Christine Nunn said in the NorthJersey.com report. "He was such a prankster. I'd be in the kitchen in a crappy mood and he'd do something ridiculous."

Lubben is survived by his son, Brett, daughters Alyssa and Amanda, ex-wife Stephanie Lubben, and girlfriend, Jennifer Collins.
