Rip dub
 

new guy looking for somebody around charlotte NC for help. i told him to see DUB. his wife responded: This is from his wife, Lynn.

Dear Friends/Family:
My husband/best friend of 23+ years, Albert “Dub” Dubnicka, passed away suddenly on Monday, August 15th while working at his business. He was 59 years old. He is survived by four sisters, Marcia, Barbara, Kathy and Sue.
He was known throughout the Country for his knowledge and perfection to detail in the restoration/repair of Corvettes.
His work was his passion along with his great love of all his dogs, and he loved playing air guitar in his shop to his favorite band and idol, the great Eddie Van Halen with the Van Halen group.
He is now with all our beloved pets and family, who I know were waiting to greet him in heaven.
I am now in the process of closing his business, which will take many months, but I am so thankful for all the support I am receiving from business associates and friends.
Every day when I “talk” to Dub, I tell him this isn’t goodbye, but “see you later”. His spirit is free to pop in and out to visit, no more stress, no more worries. If heaven is at all the way our Wolfgang described it, he is now in an awesome place.
If you would like to do something in his memory, please donate to the Doberman Rescue of the Triad, or your favorite animal rescue or other charity.
I feel like half of me is missing right now. Never let a day go by without appreciating your loved ones – even those times when you are aggravated with them – every day seeing and talking to them is a blessing.

RIP. Condolences to his family. One of the best guys out there. He was always willing to help everyone.

Very sad to hear, RIP Dub. :sadangel:

What a shame, and what a loss. He was way to young to go, and he will be missed.

RIP Dub :sadangel:

RIP Dub :sadangel:

Well, that's a shame. Condolences to his family.

What a loss to the Corvette community. So sorry to hear about his passing. Jerry

What a shock to hear about Dub
we spoke many times when he had differential issues He was always thinking out of the box
Very sorry to see him go

at least he can get lessons from Eddie VH instead of just playing air guitar.

RIP Dub. My condolences to his family.
He will certainly be missed.

So sad, RIP Dub, always a great help. ☹️

R.I.P. Dub.

R.I.P. :sadangel:

I am very sad to be seeing this he was a big help to me . I had his number and could call him and he always would stop
and talk with you. He was a friend that I never meat. Thank you Dub for all your help.

:sadangel:Very Sad!

RIP Dub. :sadangel:
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting him in person twice and talking with him on the phone several times. He was a wealth of knowledge and super friendly!
He will be sorely missed!

I'm at a loss for words-

I met Dub about 7 years ago. David Howard was driving around delivering parts and a halfway point was Charlotte.
Dub graciously said we could use his shop.

My wife quickly coined the phrase "My brother from another mother"- as his shop- like mine- was organized chaos
and we were like two peas in a pod.

Every year since- my wife and I would visit him at his shop while driving through Charlotte.
I'll will so miss the calls with him exchanging ideas- brainstorming whatever might work.

I know numerous forum members who he help out- spending hours on the phone- just because he could- expecting nothing in return.

A genius- with a heart of gold.

I knew he was sick- had lost some weight-but thought he'd just kick it- hell we are only a couple months apart... Damn!

I miss you brother- see you on the other side-

Sad, R.I.P. Dub.
On the phone with him several times, very generous of him sharing his time and know how.
Condolences to his family.

Yes,,, im also shocked and saddened to hear of his death. I too enjoyed the privilege of learning from him, on the phone, as he took time to be shure you knew what you were doing. He will be missed in a large way.

Dub was a great forum contributor and I am certain he was one of the few that really knew Corvettes and was an honest hard working man…..something this country is in true shortage of. The best is behind us.
