Philip Dubuque

Philip “Phil” A. Dubuque, 79, of Millbury passed away peacefully on Saturday 11/12/2022 after an illness.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Cheryl Dubuque (née Sharon); his daughter Michelle Neiduski and her husband John; daughter Danielle Dubuque; sisters Theresa Curtis and Rita Murphy; brother Donald Dubuque; and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Philip spent his career of over 40 years at St. Vincent Hospital as the chief of security. He loved his time “at the V,” having made many friends through his years there.

Philip served his country in the US Air Force during the Vietnam War. Being a veteran was an important part of his life. While he carried many positive memories of his service and the camaraderie with fellow soldiers, he also carried the darker side of the conflict with him. He found solace from his trauma by sharing his story with a group of fellow Veterans at the Worcester Vet Center, and with his counselor, Jennifer.

The family would like to thank the staff at St. Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Worcester for the wonderful care provided to Philip. In particular, Rose, Jason and Cassandra held a special place in Philip’s heart.

At Philip’s request, there will be no services. Family and friends are welcome to gather at his gravesite when his ashes are interred in the Millbury Central Cemetery, West Street on November 29, 2022 at 11am.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Worcester Vet Center through the Vietnam Veterans for The Community in Worcester. http://www.worc-vvftc.org/index.html
