Obituary of Hubert Dinel

Following a courageous battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, it is with great sadness that the family of Hubert Dinel announce his passing on April 2, 2023 at the age of 61.  Much loved husband of Lisa Leighton. Devoted father to Kyle (Nicole) and Briana (Anthony) and proud grandpapa of Danica and the grandchild arriving in September.  He was the son of the late Marcel Dinel and Rita Villemure. One of 11 close sisters and brothers he is survived by Therese (Denis), Gilberte (Paul), Robert (Doli), Francoise (Gord), Normand (Anne Marie) Bernie (Mario) and Etienne (Claude) and was predeceased by his sister Gabrielle (Paul) and two brothers Claude (Mila) and Daniel (Stephanie).  He will also be greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews, extended family, friends and colleagues.  Hubert was a highly regarded and devoted employee of General Dynamics for 36 years. In his spare time he enjoyed helping people by volunteering in many organizations within the Ottawa area. He will be remembered for his love of cooking, generosity and selfless nature who left a positive impression on all those he encountered. He enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid enthusiast of cycling, reading and cherished time with family. 

The family would like to thank The Ottawa Hospital General Campus Cancer Centre and ICU staff for the wonderful care and support.
