Mr. Dube is an East Hartford original.
A bright example of living faith. I too will miss him at daily and Sunday Mass, for so many years he was an inspiration; probably unknown to him. St. Mary's School and St. Mary's Church, truly blessed and special places, in part because of the faithful like Mr. Dube. My condolences to his family. God bless.
