It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Vincent Carl Dubek of Etobicoke, Ontario.
After a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer, Vincent died peacefully with his son by his side on June 19th, 2019 in the afternoon at Revera Senior Nursing Home, Mississauga. He was in his 81st year.
Vincent left this life to be with his beloved wife Joann for whom he missed everyday for the last 14 years since her passing. He will also be reunited with his mother and father, Cora and George, as well as his two older brothers Stanley and Rudy Dubek.
Vincent was born and raised in Mimico, where from a young age his love of sports from Lacrosse to Hockey took him around the city and province to play in many championships. His athleticism was often captured in the local paper detailing his sportsmanship and often the winning goal!
Vincent carried his love of hockey throughout his life, not only by continuing to referee in almost every league in the southern Ontario District, but also rarely missed the Saturday night Leaf games, and continued to amaze people with his up-to-date knowledge of the players, the trades and their teams!
Vincent had a rewarding 32 year career with the Etobicoke Fire Department. He retired First Class Firefighter in 1997.
He had determined that it was smarter to run out of a burning building instead of into one! He never forgot the friendships he made during his 3 decades of service.
Vincent is survived by his son Brent, his daughter-in-law Michele, and his only grandchild Ryan.
Vincent will be forever remembered by his loving niece Michele.
The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) on Monday afternoon, June 24 from 2 – 4 o’clock and evening 7 – 9 o’clock. Funeral service will be held in the chapel on Tuesday, June 25 at 11 o’clock.
Private interment to be held at a later date.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Dear Brent & Family
We are so sorry for your loss. We never did get around to visiting Vince at Rivera, however, we are happy that we got to spend time getting to know Vince while he was still at the house.
Ariana attends Nativity of Our Lord school and that is how we came to know Vince. We shared some laughs and great stories when we would drop by to visit. He was always very appreciative and enjoyed the home cooked meals that we would bring him.
Vince will be missed and he is finally reunited with your Mom (grandma) and in peace with no more suffering.
Rose, Peter & Ariana Milczyn

To my old friend Brent,
This your old friend Darryl King. I used to work with you at AC way back in the day. Some of my best memories I have of back then were the times we hung out together. You & your Dad would always welcome me to your home, or at your cabin in Keswick. I can remember how spotless your place was. When I would spill or drop something (which probably was often) you would say jokingly (or maybe not so jokingly) “Hey, you dropped a crumb! Don’t ever do it again.” Great memories.
I just found out about your Dad, and I’m truly sorry for your loss. I remember how tight you two were, how much you loved and respected him, and how much of a hero he was to you, and many others I’m sure.
We lost contact after I moved to Vancouver, but you were one of the outstanding people who always treated me very well. You always conducted yourself with honor, class, and respect, and that was a testament as to how your Dad raised you.
Please accept my late condolences to you and your family. Your Dad was a great man and served his community bravely during his lengthy and amazing career.
Take care Brent, and may your wonderful father rest In peace.
Darryl King

Brent & Michele, soon going to be a year that Vince has been gone! Certainly miss my Sunday visits spent with him. I think of him of often and the number of good times we had together. I loved him & would have done anything for him, I think he felt the same way! He is sadly missed by many and not forgotten.
