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.

Dan was not only our neighbor but a good friend, a golf buddy. His sudden death has been hard for both of us. A true Gentleman.

Hey my friend, our hearts still ache in sadness, and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, we cried when you passed away we still cry today. Although we loved you dearly, we couldn't make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. GOD broke our heart to prove to us he only takes the best. Days will pass and turn into years... but we will always remember you with silent tears. Love you my good friend and missing you... rest in peace. Guy and I, wish to express our deepest sympathy to you Reina, son Martin, Kelly and grandchildren, Claude and Carmen (Dan's family) and to Reina's family (Bazinet)

J'ai rencontré Dan alors qu'il était jeune soldat en Allemagne en 1969 ou 70 alors qu'iI était jeune et fringuant. J'ai pu sulvre son évolution dans les FC ou iI a connu une belle carrière et iI en a fait autant après son départ des Forces. Un travailleur acharné qui savait se fixer un objectlf et y parvenir. Mes plus sincères sympathies à toute la famille. RIP

I am so sad. Dan passed far too young. I knew him first as a student on his basic MedA trg course, then some years later on a senior Med A course and finally as a full-fledged ENT tech.
We last tripped over each other as fully retired pensioners but you both deserve to have had many more years together. My sympathies to all he left behind.
Thank you for the wonderful life and the son you gave me.
