After almost 50 years of marriage, the love of my life died on his 72nd birthday, surrounded by me, our son and his wife. After an extremely brief bout with brain cancer Daniel left our wonderful life for a much better one. He leaves behind Reina (Bazinet) Dubé, his son Martin (wife Kelly), his two grandchildren Marlee and Olivier, and 14 in-laws which he loved dearly, his brother Claude and a sister Carmen (Lussier).
Daniel was born in St. André Est, Comté d’Argenteuil, Québec. His exciting twenty two-year career in the Canadian Air Force as a Medic and then as an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist took us to many adventurous postings like Québec City, Esquimalt B.C, Moisie Québec, Ottawa Ontario, Lahr Germany and finally St. Jean, Québec.
After his military career he opened several hearing aid clinics “Regional Hearing Inc” and “Helix Inc.” in Ottawa, Orleans, Stittsville and Toronto.
His love of travelling took us all over the world. Daniel had a beautiful voice but would only sing for me. He was also an avid golfer and curler.
A visitation will be held at the Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa on April 23rd, 2022 at 1pm, followed by a memorial service at 2pm and inurnment in the National Military Cemetery at 3pm.
As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to the Diabetes Canada would be appreciated by the family.

With deepest sympathy on the loss of a partner, father and grandfather. I did not know Dan but I did know Marty over the years since he was a good friend of my son Tony. Got to know Kelly, Marlee and Oliver at my son's house. RIP

We share in the sorrow of Dan's passing. However, we will celebrate and forever remember the smiles he brought to us and how he enriched our lives with his goodness and concern for others.

Dan was a very good friend on and off the golf course; he had an excellent dry sense of humor. We spent many evenings playing cards or board games while in The Villages in Florida.
We'll miss him dearly. May he rest in peace and we wish Reina, Martin & family our deepest condolences. Reina, please keep in touch.

My deepest sincere sympathies to you Reina and your family. We will keep Dan in our prayers.
Dan played by his rules, and I will not only always remember him for that but moreso his generosity. Dan and Reina, you always made me feel welcome in your home. I thank you.
Dan's little side chats always had an equal tone of wisdom with a touch humour. May God bless him and he lay at rest. Reina and Martin (Kelly) our thoughts and prayers will be for Dan and you.
With love, Owen and Pao
