My father-in-law was the best one you could possible have! He was always there for me and had great advise when you needed it. I was his "buddy"! I will miss him deeply, but I am so glad he is at peace! Love you Dad!

Dear Mrs. Dube,

It was such a shock to see Walter Dube's obituary in the paper today. Although I have not seen him since Jack's funeral, I thought he was such a fine gentleman.

Mr. Massey and I were always so happy when Dube was at the controls. I have very fond memories of how well he took care of us.

Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Mr. Dube was a joy to be around. I enjoyed every minute of being one of his caregivers. He made me laugh quite often. Mr. Dube and his family are truly wonderful people. He will definitely be missed by many.

Tot and Wayne,I am so sorry to hear about Dube passing. I have such great memories of him and all the times our families shared together. He was a special man and had the respect of many people. Dad and I were just talking about him to my boys this summer in Michigan.
Am sure he and my mother and grandfather will be having some great conversations!

Tot, It has been a long battle for you and Dubbie but you have no regrets. I loved hearing Dubie telling his flying stories and eating his grilled steaks. My prayers are with you and the family.

A great pilot, gin player, QB and most of all a good man. Dube had an exciting aviation career that took him all over the world to return with flying stories we all learned from.
He will be missed by all that knew him.
Thanks for the memories.

The first time I met Mr. Dube I was impressed by his friendliness, humor, and the love he radiated toward all his family and friends. Subsequent meetings only confirmed this first impression. I know that he was dearly loved by all his family, and that this will leave a huge emptiness in their hearts and lives. Our sympathy goes out to each of them.

Dube - a true Southern gentleman, a great co-worker for many years at Oman, and a wonderfully funny storyteller. The world is a poorer place with his passing. My thoughts are with his family and friend.
