Aubrey was born at Alkabo, N.D., June 20, 1916, the son of Ed and Selma (Stromstad) Ferguson. His mother died while Aubrey was a small child, and he was raised by his father on the family farm. He graduated from Westby High School in 1935 and married
Verna Olson Feb. 22, 1939. They farmed in the Westby community, and operated the Westby Drug Store. In 1954, they bought the Blue Moon Nite Club in Plentywood and operated both businesses until they sold the drug store and moved to Plentywood in 1959. They sold the Blue Moon in 1972.
Aubrey worked at the Peterson Hardware and clerked at many auction sales until failing health forced his retirement. All his life he followed his first love, baseball, softball, and basketball. As a competitor, as a fan, and as a widely known and respected coach, Aubrey was one of the central figures in regional sports activities. In 1987, Aubrey was the two time winner of the Frank Morrison Award, which goes to Northeastern Montana citizens for outstanding community service in the field of sports. In the 1960s and 1970s he was a coach and sponsor of teams in the Scobey Invitational Basketball tourney. He started the Fastpitch Softball program in Plentywood; and the Blue Moon Nite Club teams he sponsored and coached were usually contenders in many regional tournaments. At one time, he even had Phil Jackson (head coach of the six-time world Champion Chicago Bulls and now head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers) on his basketball team in the Western Invitational Tournament in Lewistown.
He coached State Championship and National Baseball Congress competitive teams and was honored for his lifelong dedication to the game by the naming of the diamond at Sportsmen’s Park as “Ferguson Field.” Aubrey has been resident at Sheridan Memorial Nursing Home and kept in touch with sports by television, radio, and visits with family, friends, and former players.
Aubrey is survived by two sons, Larry and his wife, Sandra, of Butte, and Tom and his wife, Barb, of Plentywood; by one daughter, Peggy, and her husband, Glen Sattoriva, of Billings; by grandchildren Callie, Todd, Scott, Melissa, Derik, Michael, and Nathan; and six great-grandchildren.
