Peacefully at the Northumberland Hills Hospital in Cobourg on Thursday, February 27th, 2025, Adrian Dubois at 91 years of age. Beloved husband of the late Mary Dubois (nee Nesbitt). Loving father of Anthony and Raymond. Dear brother of Ron Dubois in Netherlands. Predeceased by his parents Anthony and Elizabeth (nee Kriens). Adrian was born in Dordrecht Netherlands and moved to Canada where he began his career as a chef working in all the big hotels in Toronto, later moving into food service management. Adrian previously lived in Pickering from 1962 to 1994 and was involved as an executive in the early days of the Pickering Hockey Association. Moving to Northumberland he became an active member of Probus and was an avid collector of art and antiques. There will be cremation with private arrangements. Those wishing may make a memorial donation to the Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation.
Our sincere condolences. As members of Colborne PROBUS, we were often spoiled by Adrian when he shared his stories of Netherlands life through WWII, his love of art and antiques and his memories of working in the food industry. He quietly engaged with everyone in PROBUS.
My deepest condolences on your loss of this special man. I had the pleasure of knowing him, through CIBC. May your memories give you comfort in the days ahead.
