Hanover's district judge loved job and hometown, worked right up to his death York Dispatch Hanover District Judge Dwayne A. Dubs loved his hometown — the small-town feel of it, the sense of community and the fact that many of his family members still live close to the borough where he was born and raised. Dubs, 60, died Monday at Hanover Hospital, according to his obituary from Wetzel Funeral Home. His death was due to complications following a two-year battle with cancer, according to wife Daune Dubs. "He loved Hanover," she told The York Dispatch. Aside from a few-week leave of absence last month for a hospital stay, Dubs was still working, Daune Dubs said.
