Huebner retired from the army on November 30, 1950.

On September 1, 1951, Huebner became director of New York State's Civil Defense Commission, a post he held until January 1961

Huebner married Florence Barrett in 1921. Following her death in 1966, Huebner married Anna Imelda Mathews in 1968. She died in 1974. All three are buried together in Arlington National Cemetery.

In Bushton, Huebner is recognized by a sign coming into town from Highway K-4. A bronze rabbit statue, part of the ‘Rabbits of Rice County’ project, was named “Clarence” and can be found in Windy Acres Park.
