In Celebration of

Lui Eugene Hrobelsky

January 12, 1948 - August 23, 2020

Unexpectedly, while doing what he loved most, riding his motorcycle on Sunday, August 23rd, 2020 at the age of 72. A resident of Kemptville and brilliant engineer. Lui was born in Austria on January 12th, 1948 to Julianna and Roman. He is predeceased by the love of his life, Mary Lynn (Curtin). Beloved father of Jennifer Delorme (Shawn). Dear brother of Mary Kozak (Metro). Cherished grandfather to Cole Shouldice (Chelsea Blais), Hunter Delorme-Probert (Eric), Kiefer Delorme (Madison Turpin), DaVinci Delorme, Juno Delorme and his great grandson Jace Probert. He will be missed by his nieces and nephews, Larysa Kozak (Nick Giesen), Renata Kozak (Denis Lariviere), Myron Kozak (Jason Burke) and his great niece and nephew, Mara Giesen and Roman Giesen.

Lui graduated from Queen’s University in 1977 with a master’s degree in Engineering, and worked as the Head of Environmental Affairs, Transport Canada. His extraordinary passion for the inner workings of mechanics and green technology played a significant role in the advancement of Canada’s emissions reduction efforts. He enjoyed restoring vintage motorcycles to their original beauty, with a love for Honda Powersports. He was an exceptional problem-solver who often took on difficult and unwanted projects and completed them with grace. He was a devoted and loving grandfather who never missed a birthday or holiday, and always knew how to make his grandkids feel special. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

Lui was a very dear friend, We had long talks about things of mutual interest. In January over three cups of herbal tea we discussed the things that were important to each of us. in the 1990's Lui (& Lynn0 offered to take my daughter to the farm for a month because she was experiencing teen age issues. In my opinion, Lui was a great mechanical engineer, thoughtful & logical on solving mechanical & human issues. I will certainly miss our discussions & his insight into the human issues we discussed.
RIP
